Dr. Edward J. Dlugokencky, Global Monitoring Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was awarded 2020 AGU Fellow for “the production of unassailable global data sets of the main greenhouse gases CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O and the interpretations of those data”.

"The members of this year’s class of Fellows have made exceptional contributions in our Earth and space sciences community through breakthrough, discovery, or innovation in their disciplines. Since 1962, AGU has elected fewer than 0.1% of members to join this prestigious group of individuals.

Thanks to their dedication and sacrifice, AGU Fellows serve as global leaders and experts who have propelled our understanding of geosciences. We are confident that they will remain curious and relentlessly focused on answers as they continue to advance their research, which pushes our boundaries of knowledge to create a healthy planet and beyond."

The award ceremony was held Wednesday, 9 December
