Cathy,
I saw that... a wonderful honor
for her! I will be at that awards ceremony as my collegue from Rice
University - Patricia Reiff won the Athelstan Spilhaus award. I wrote
a letter in support of her nomination.
Tamara

Hi all-
Thought you would like to know that Kim Kastens has been
selected to receive the AGU Prize for Excellence in Geophysical Education
this year. The prize recognizes her for early recognition of the
importance of research into how individuals perceive and learn geophysical
concepts, for her own pioneering work on map reading and 3-D visualizatons,
and for her leadership in establishing collaborations among geoscientists
and cognitive scientists.
I think that this is nice recognition from AGU of the
value of the research that all of us are doing on aspects of geoscience
thinking, learning and teaching.
Kim will receive the prize at the AGU Joint Assembly in
Toronto this spring. I know that she would appreciate your support
if you are attending the meeting.
