Jack Kaye [NASA Headquarters—Associate Director of Research for the Earth Science Division] received the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) Honorary Member award during the AOGS 12th Annual Meeting held in Singapore in August 2015. AOGS created this prestigious award to honor the persons whose international standing in geosciences or whose services to the Society are recognized by the Society and elected by the General Meeting. The Award Committee evaluates and ranks the nominated candidates and then submits its recommendations and the ranked list to the Council, at least three months prior to the next AOGS Annual General Meeting, for consideration and approval.
The criteria for ranking, each of equal weight, are any two of the following three criteria:
• The excellence, outstanding nature, breadth, persistence, and international recognition of a candidate’s research contributions to the geosciences;
• The excellence and duration of a candidate’s record of international leadership and unselfish cooperation in the geosciences, particularly in Asia and Oceania;
• The excellence and duration of a candidate’s contributions to AOGS, especially relating to the development of the geosciences within Asia and Oceania and to international cooperation within and outside these regions.
Please join us in congratulating Jack on this award!
