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 15 May
2006 and currently live and work in developing nations. Consideration is to
be given to candidates who have overcome obstacles in attaining their
research objectives.
 
The awardee will receive three years' membership in AGU; an award
certificate; one complimentary ticket for the SPA section dinner; meeting
registration, air travel, and living expenses (i.e., air travel and hotel
room) will be provided to attend the Fall Meeting during the award
presentation year; the opportunity to deliver an invited paper on the
dissertation topic in an appropriate SPA session at the AGU Fall Meeting;
and an Eos announcement.
 
Nominations should be prepared by an AGU member or other geoscientist who is
knowledgeable of the candidate's qualifications. Nominations should include:
 
- Nominator's name and title, address, and contact numbers;
- Nominee's name and title, institutional affiliation, and address;
- A statement - not to exceed two pages - of the action(s) or achievement(s)

The Basu United States Early Career Award for Research Excellence in Sun-Earth
Systems Science is an addition to the original Basu Early Career award and will
be awarded for the first time in 2013. This award seeks to recognize an
individual early career scientist who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
within three years of obtaining a Ph.D. degree and for demonstrating scientific
success in studying the plasma physical processes that couple Earth’s atmosphere
to driving mechanisms in the magnetosphere, solar wind, and Sun. The individual
should show the talent needed to complete future work in those areas of space
weather and their applications for the benefits to society.
 
This award is open to US citizens and permanent residents that have completed
their PhD after May 15, 2010 by a US institution.  The recipient will be invited
to present a paper at AGU's Fall Meeting at an appropriate session and will
receive a $1,000 cash award. The award will be presented at the Space Physics
and Aeronomy (SPA) Section’s dinner so attendance at the Fall Meeting is
mandatory. The awardee will also be presented with a certificate of
appreciation, three years’ membership in AGU and a complimentary ticket to the
SPA dinner.
 
Nominations should be prepared by an AGU member who is not the thesis advisor, but who is knowledgeable of the candidate's qualifications. Nominations should include:
