Langbein Lecture

The Walter B. Langbein Lecture is given for lifetime contributions to the science of hydrology and/or for unselfish cooperation in hydrologic research. Additional considerations may be the candidate’s renown as a lecturer and/or as an educator. The award is named to honor the life and work of hydrologist Walter B. Langbein.

The Langbein Lecture is also a part of the Bowie Lecture Series, established in 1989 to commemorate the 50th presentation of the William Bowie medal, AGU's highest honor.
