Martin Visbeck elected as AGU Fellow

Martin Visbeck, member of the WCRP Joint Scientific Committee and past CLIVAR SSG co-chair, has been elected as a 2015 AGU Fellow. The Fellows program pays tribute to those AGU members who have made exceptional contributions to Earth and space sciences.  Martin has been a very active member of the CLIVAR community for many years, spearheading several major activities and most recently the AtlantOS project, https://www.atlantos-h2020.eu/, to optimize and enhance the integrated Atlantic Ocean observing systems.  Martin was a speaker at the CLIVAR town hall at Fall AGU [link to flyer] that took place on December 16.  The event was well attended and provided an opportunity for participants to hear about the latest developments in CLIVAR.
