Dear Colleagues,

As AGU seismology section officers, we would like to remind you about upcoming April 15 deadline for award nominations. Please be sure that your outstanding colleagues are recognized for their contributions!

Keiiti Aki Young Scientist Award
The Keiiti Aki Young Scientist Award recognizes the scientific accomplishments of young scientists in the field of seismology.   Nominees for this award in 2017 should have obtained their Ph.D. in 2014-2016 and should be a member of AGU with a primary affiliation in the Seismology Section.  Please submit nominations by April 15, 2017 through the AGU website.  The award will be presented at the 2017 fall AGU meeting just prior to the Gutenberg Lecture. 

Paul G. Silver Award for Outstanding Scientific Service
The Paul G. Silver Award for Outstanding Scientific Service is given annually to an AGU member with a primary affiliation in the Seismology, Geodesy, or Tectonophysics Sections who has excelled in mentoring of junior colleagues, leadership of community research initiatives, or other forms of unselfish collaboration in research.  Nominations should be submitted by April 15, 2017 through the AGU website. The selection committee for this award is made up of the Seismology, Geodesy and Tectonophysics Section Presidents and President-elects. 

Gutenberg Lecture
The Gutenberg Lecture is the named lecture in seismology given annually at the December AGU Meeting.  This is an opportunity for us to show exciting results from seismological research to the larger AGU community. Please submit suggestions for the 2017 Gutenberg Lecturer by April 15, 2017 to the committee chair Maureen Long (maureen.long<at>yale.edu), a paragraph would be fine.
