Prof Helen Fricker was recently named as a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).  AGU fellows are recognised for their “exceptional contributions to Earth and space sciences as valued by their peers and vetted by a committee of Fellows”.  The 2017 Fellows will be recognised in the Honors Tribute at the 2017 AGU Fall Meeting in December.

Helen, a professor at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, was awarded the Tinker-Muse Prize in 2010 for her discovery of active sub-glacial lakes and her leadership in the application of remote sensing techniques to understand ice sheet processes.
