Crozaz elected AGU fellow
By Tony Fitzpatrick Ghislaine Crozaz, Ph.D., professor of earth and planetary sciences in Arts & Sciences, has been elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). One of the few honors that the AGU bestows on its members, less than 0.1 percent of the membership is elected to fellowship each year. Crozaz began her highly productive career by developing a dating method, still used today, to determine snow accumulation rates in polar regions. At a time when estimates of the influx of interplanetary dust on Earth ranged over orders of magnitude, she also contributed a number that has resisted the test of time. Some 30 years ago, she came to the University and first investigated the history of the lunar soil, meteorites and solar activity with studies of nuclear particle tracks in lunar samples and meteorites. For the last two decades, she has contributed to the understanding of the early history of the solar system and to the formation histories of various meteorite types through innovative studies of trace element microdistributions and extinct radionuclides in these objects. For over three quarters of a century, the AGU has supplied an organizational framework within which geoscientists have created the programs and products needed to advance their science. From its beginnings as the representative of American geophysicists in the international scientific community, AGU has evolved beyond parochial boundaries of nation and discipline into an active community of over 38,000 scientists from 117 countries. The AGU is a leader in the increasingly interdisciplinary global endeavor that encompasses the geophysical sciences. Crozaz earned an undergraduate degree and a doctorate at the University of Brussels, Belgium. Crozaz is a fellow of the Meteoritical Society and the Explorers Club, a member of various societies and she has served on many national committees. Apart from enjoying her research, she is highly regarded for training and interacting with gifted graduate students whose postgraduate accomplishments are outstanding. |
