Publication Award
Kaula Award
The William Kaula Award recognizes unselfish service to the scientific community through extraordinary dedication to, and exceptional efforts on behalf of, the Union's publications program. Individuals may be recognized for such contributions as outstanding reviewing, editorial service beyond expectations, and innovative leadership. It is fitting that recognition to the publications program be named in honor of William Kaula, who gave unstintingly of his talents and energies to AGU publications. He served as Editor of Reviews of Geophysics and JGR-Solid Earth, led the development of a number of policies and practices during his service on the Publications Committee, was a mentor to more junior scientists serving as journal Associate Editors and Editors, and pressed always for higher standards for AGU journals.
In even-numbered years, the Publications Committee selects a recipient, who will be recognized at one of the Editors' Evenings and through Eos. Opportunities to nominate candidates are made known to the Editors, Associate Editors, Section Officers, and the general membership. The Publications Committee can also nominate candidates when appropriate so long as the nominee is not a current member of the Committee. As with all Union awards, the selection is submitted to the Council Leadership Team for approval.
