Justin Mankin Receives Global Environmental Change Early Career Award from AGU

From Dartmouth Arts and Sciences:

"The world's largest Earth and space science association, AGU annually recognizes a select number of individuals with its highest honors in research, education, science communication, and outreach.

"Individually, each award speaks to outstanding accomplishments, recognized by top peers in the area," says Jane Lipson, associate dean for the sciences and Albert W. Smith Professor of Chemistry. "Together, they demonstrate the notable presence of our Dartmouth colleagues in a field of crucial importance to a rapidly changing world.

Associate Professor of Geography Justin Mankin received the Global Environmental Change Early Career Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions in research, educational, or societal impacts in the area of global environmental change by honorees within 10 years of receiving their PhD. 

Mankin's research documents and predicts the physical origins and human consequences of climate change. His work attributes climate impacts on our economy, water, food, recreation, and infrastructure. Recently, Mankin has highlighted the dangers of privatizing climate information, has shown that drought monitoring and management is being undermined by climate change, and that human-caused warming is behind the sharp drop in seasonal snowpacks throughout the Northern Hemisphere. 

Honorees will be recognized at the AGU's annual conference in December."
