Tessa Hill named Rachel Carson Lecture recipient

Earth and Planetary Sciences Professor Tessa Hill is the recipient of the 2023 Rachel Carson Lecture, the American Geophysical Union, or AGU, announced this month. The honor is bestowed upon individuals for meritorious work or service toward the advancement and promotion of discovery and solution science. 

The Rachel Carson Lecture is presented annually and recognizes cutting-edge work in ocean science research by a woman scientist. Named in honor of the life and work of marine biologist Rachel Louise Carson, this lecture is presented by a scientist whose work in the field of ocean science is particularly relevant to current societal concerns.

As a scientist with the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department and 不良研究所 Bodega Marine Laboratory, Hill studies climate change, ocean acidification and the response of marine species to environmental disturbance. She is also the Associate Vice Provost for Academic Programs in at 不良研究所. 

AGU is the world's largest Earth and space science association. Hill is recognized by the global Earth and space sciences community for tremendous personal sacrifices and selfless dedication to advancing Earth and space sciences.

Kari Cooper receives Norman L. Bowen Award

Kari Cooper, a professor of earth and planetary sciences, has won the American Geophysical Union鈥檚 Norman L. Bowen Award, which honors a mid-career or senior scientist for outstanding contributions to the fields of petrology, volcanology and geochemistry. 

Cooper shared a landmark discovery about volcanoes, describing them not as a pot of bubbling soup but something more akin to a snow cone, a mixture dominated by shaved ice, much like how a magma chamber is predominantly solid, in at least some cases, for roughly 90% of its total storage duration.  

鈥淧ersonally, it鈥檚 very meaningful for me,鈥 Cooper said of the new award, noting that the list of past Bowen awardees reads like a who鈥檚 who list of her scientific heroes. 鈥淣orman Bowen was one of the first people to say that magmas will crystallize in an orderly sequence of minerals. Every petrology student learns for crystallization, so it鈥檚 a meaningful award because it really taps into the history of this field.鈥
