Basic Information
AGU has been William S. Reeburgh’s primary professional affiliation since 1968. Reeburgh was active in the OS and AS sections until the B section was formed. He served as editor of Global Biogeochemical Cycles for 6 years (1998-2004), and was President-Elect and President of the Biogeosciences section (7/04-7/08). He is an AGU Fellow (2001). The inaugural lecture was presented at the 2015 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, California.
The Reeburgh Lecture will be presented annually as part of the AGU Fall Meeting.
