"Geology Professor Andy Ridgwell has been named a 2021 fellow of the American Geophysical Union, or AGU, one of the most significant honors a scientist in earth sciences can receive.
AGU is a large international society dedicated to promoting Earth and space science. It elects fewer than 0.1% of its 60,000 members each year to join this prestigious group of individuals.
Ridgwell’s new status as fellow acknowledges his decades of research into the causes of dramatic climate events in Earth’s past, as well as what the future is likely to hold. "
