Call for Nominations for the 2008 Sunanda and Santimay Basu Early Career
Award in Sun-Earth Systems Science

The Space Physics and Aeronomy (SPA) Section of AGU is seeking nominations
for the 2008 Sunanda and Santimay Basu Early Career Award in Sun-Earth
Systems Science. This award will be presented annually starting in 2008 to
honor an individual scientist from a developing nation for making
outstanding contributions to research in Sun-Earth Systems Science that
further the understanding of both plasma physical processes and their
applications for the benefit of society. The award is open to scientists who
received their Ph.D. degree after 1 June 2001 and who live and work in
developing nations. Consideration is to be given to candidates who have
overcome obstacles in attaining their research objectives.

The Space Physics and Aeronomy Section will invite the recipient to present
a paper at AGU's Fall Meeting in San Francisco, California. Travel funds and
living expenses will be provided to attend the meeting, where the recipient
will receive a certificate of appreciation and three years' membership to
AGU. The award will be presented at the SPA dinner, for which the awardee
will receive a complimentary ticket. The awardee will also be announced in
Eos.

Nominations should be prepared by an AGU member or other geoscientist who is
knowledgeable of the candidate's qualifications and include the following
information:

   * nominator's name and title, address and contact numbers;
   * nominee's name and title, institutional affiliation, and address;

for which the candidate is nominated;
   * two letters of support from AGU members or from other recognized
geoscientists belonging to institutions other than that of the nominee;
   * a curriculum vitae of the nominee (not to exceed 3 pages).
