A 91探花 geologist has received the American Geophysical Union’s early-career award for researchers in the Earth and space sciences. She is also one of three 91探花scientists selected to give named lectures at the union’s upcoming annual fall meeting.
, a 91探花assistant professor of Earth and space sciences, was selected for the Luna B. Leopold Award for early career scientists. The award recognizes scientists within five years of receiving their doctorate who have made “a significant and outstanding contribution that advances the field of Earth and planetary surface processes.”
The honor is named after Luna Leopold, an American geomorphologist and hydrologist and son of author and conservationist Aldo Leopold. Duvall will accept the honor and deliver the Robert Sharp Lecture in December at the union’s annual fall meeting in San Francisco.
Duvall earned her doctorate at the University of Michigan in 2011 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Colorado before joining the 91探花faculty in 2012. She led a recent study that used a new technique to establish the long-term around the site of the deadly March 2014 landslide in Oso, Washington.
In the nomination package, 91探花professor David Montgomery wrote to support Duvall for her “contributions to fluvial, hillslope, and tectonic geomorphology that have fundamentally advanced understanding of landscape dynamics across a wide range of scales.”
At the same fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, two other 91探花faculty members will also deliver invited talks. , professor and director of the 91探花School of Oceanography, will deliver the in the Ocean Sciences section. , a 91探花professor of atmospheric sciences, will deliver the in the focus group on Global Environmental Change.
All three lectures will be streamed live online in December and will be recorded for later viewing. See a full list of on the American Geophysical Union’s website.
