    2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers - Eos 8/1/19, 359 PM 2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers Eighty-two distinguished scientists receive accolades from groups representing their disciplines within AGU, the world’s largest Earth and space science society. By Robin Bell and Mary Anne Holmes ! 31 July 2019 The 2019 section awardees and named lecturers have been selected, and AGU staff, leaders, and selection committees wholeheartedly congratulate these awardees! Our colleagues have been selected for these prestigious honors for their sustained and unique contributions to advancing our understanding of Earth, its atmosphere and oceans, and planets and astral bodies beyond our own. The sciences encompassed by AGU are crucial for the health and well-being of our planet’s inhabitants. These awardees have contributed to both that understanding and the planetary health and well-being through their scientific advancements and outstanding service to the science and to AGU. https://eos.org/agu-news/2019-agu-section-awardees-and-named-lecturers Page 1 of 7 2019 AGU Section Awardees and Named Lecturers - Eos 8/1/19, 359 PM This year’s cohort of awardees reflects the diversity that is integral to the Earth and space sciences. Among the 25 sections of AGU there are 65 such awards; 21 are for early- career scientists (up to 10 years post-Ph.D.) and 6 are for midcareer (10 to 20 years post-Ph.D.). Twenty-seven awards provide named lectureships that offer unique opportunities to highlight the meritorious accomplishments of the awardees. AGU inaugurated the Bowie Lecture in 1989 to commemorate the 50th presentation of the William Bowie Medal, which is named for AGU’s first president and is the highest honor given by the organization.

    Walter Heinrich Munk

    WALTER HEINRICH MUNK 19 october 1917 . 8 february 2019 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 163, NO. 3, SEPTEMBER 2019 biographical memoirs alter Heinrich Munk was a brilliant scholar and scientist who was considered one of the greatest oceanographers of W his time. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1917 as the Austro-Hungarian Empire was declining and just before the death of one of its great artists, Gustav Klimt. Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, who later changed her name to Hedy Lamarr to accommodate her film career, was one of Walter’s childhood friends.1 Walter’s mother, Rega Brunner,2 the daughter of a wealthy Jewish banker, divorced Walter’s father in 1927 and married Dr. Rudolf Engelsberg in 1928. By age 14, Walter apparently had not distinguished himself in his school studies and announced that he intended to become a ski instructor. Walter later claimed that it was this that caused his mother to send him to work at a family bank in New York. The validity of this claim should be tempered by the political turmoil in Germany and its proximity to Austria. In any case, Walter left Vienna in 1932. In New York, he attended Silver Bay Preparatory School for Boys on Lake George and then became a lowly employee in the Cassel Bank, which was associated with the family’s Brunner Bank in New York. In the meantime, Walter restarted his education at Columbia’s Extension School. He greatly disliked the work at the bank and apparently made a number of mistakes, which didn’t endear him to the owners of the Cassel Bank.

    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.

    William Bowie 1872-1940

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES W I L L I A M B O W IE 1872—1940 A Biographical Memoir by J . A . F LEMING Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1951 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. WILLIAM BOWIE 1872-1940 BY J. A. FLEMING William Bowie was born May 6, 1872, at Grassland, an estate near Annapolis Junction, Anne Arundel County, Mary- land. He died August 28, 1940, at Mt. Alto Hospital in Wash- ington, D. C, after an illness of about three weeks. Funeral services were held at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Washing- ton, D. C, August 30, 1940, followed by burial in Arlington National Cemetery. His family, descended from a long line of English ancestors, many of whom were knighted, was traced back as far as 1325. His American forebears, all of whom played important parts in the history of Maryland, originated with John Bowie, Sr. (1688-T 759), who emigrated from England to America about 1705-06. William Bowie's great grandfather Thomas Bowie f 1767-1823) was Colonel of the 34th Regiment of the Mary- land forces in the war of i8r2, and his father Thomas John Bowie (1837-1898) served as Deputy Provost Marshal for Prince Georges County, Maryland, during the Civil War and was later elected for one term in the House of the Maryland Legislature. William Bowie's mother, Susanna Anderson (Bowie), whose English ancestors have been traced from early in the Fourteenth Century, was also descended from a well- known Maryland family, the activities of many of whom helped make history in Maryland.
