The AGU Cryosphere Focus Group Executive Committee reminds you that it is time to nominate your colleagues for AGU Fellow, AGU Ambassador, Cryosphere Early Career Award (10 years post-degree), and Nye lecturer. Fellow/Ambassador nominations are due March 15, 2017 and award nominations are due April 15, 2017. Instructions for the nominations can be found below.

Nominations should be limited to no more than 2 pages (with reasonable formatting choices) including the name, area of expertise, and potential lecture topics of the nominee.
