Dr. Mark Jellinek, Professor in the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, was elected as an AGU Fellow, joining a distinguished group of 54 individuals in the 2024 Class of Fellows. AGU is the world's largest Earth and space science association and AGU Fellows are bestowed annually to a select number of individuals who have made exceptional contributions. Since its inception in 1962, less than 0.1% of AGU members have been selected as Fellows each year.  

AGU Fellows are recognized for their scientific eminence, demonstrated through breakthroughs, discoveries or innovations that advance the Earth and space sciences. Fellows act as external experts, advising government agencies and other organizations outside the sciences upon request. Dr. Jellinek was selected for their exemplary leadership and outstanding scientific achievements, which have significantly advanced our understanding of various topics, including magmatic and volcanic processes and hazards, geodynamics, long-term climate change, surface processes and the evolution of Earth and other rocky planets.
