Every year the AGU Precipitation Technical Committee selects students presenting precipitation related work at the AGU Fall Meeting (oral, poster or e-lightning presentations) for the AGU Precipitation Student Award. If you are a student and you are planning to present at the AGU Fall Meeting consider this opportunity.





The application for the "AGU Precipitation Student Award" is now open!



Submit your application HERE



Nomination Form: Precipitation Technical Committee invites application from the students presenting at the AGU 2024 Fall Meeting. 
Format:
  • Students who submitted an abstract about research on precipitation to AGU Fall Meeting 2024 as a lead author are eligible to apply for the award. 
  • Students must submit a graphical abstract of the work submitted to AGU along with the application form in order to be considered for the awards. 
  • AGU presentations of the selected Graphical Abstracts will be evaluated by judges during the AGU Fall meeting and top five presentations will be awarded.
Deadline:
  • Application and graphical abstract - November 15, 2024
  • Graphical abstract selection announcement - November 30, 2024
  • Winner announcement - 28 December, 2024
Highlights:
  • The nominee must be student and lead author
  • The presentation must be related to 'Precipitation'
  • The abstracts should be submitted to AGU sessions that highlight "precipitation". 
  • The graphical abstract and presentation evaluation is based on novelty, content, scientific relevance, graphics and overall presentation.
  • The awards are evaluated by scientists working in precipitation science and is an excellent opportunity to network. 
  • This award is organized by AGU Precipitation Technical Committee; AGU Outstanding Student Presentation Awards (OSPA) requires different application. 
5 top awardees will receive
- Cash Prize 
- Invitation to speak in our quarterly seminar series
