AGU is excited to implement a series of updates to the Union Medals, Awards and Prizes (UMAP) Program in 2024. The updates are part of a comprehensive effort to improve how we find, select and celebrate achievement in the Earth and space sciences, a culmination of nearly two years of hard work by the Honors & Recognition Committee and AGU staff.

We want to ensure that the AGU community is well-informed prior to the opening of the 2024 Honors nomination cycle on 17 January. Members of AGU's Honors and Recognition Committee and AGU staff will be available to answer questions about the updates during our Open Office Hours sessions or via email at [email protected].
