Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union is published weekly by the American Geophysical Union, 2000 Florida Ave., NW, 

Washington, DC 20009 USA. This hardcover edition is included in the institutional subscription price. 

Individual teachers, students, researchers, and libraries acting for them are permitted to make copies of material in this publication 

for their own use in research or teaching, including multiple copies for classroom or library reserve use, provided such copies are not 

sold. Copying for sale is subject to payment or copying fees; AGU Headquarters should be contacted for such permissions. Permission 

is granted to use short quotes from this volume and to reproduce fi gures and tables for publication in scientifi c books and journals, 

provided that the author(s), publisher, and publication are cited appropriately. 

The primary goal of Eos is to forge the interdisciplinary ties that are the unique feature of AGU. Eos invites contributions of short articles, 

meeting reports, news, notes on recent research, and letters to the editor. Material must be readable, contain little or no mathematics, and 

be timely. Eos does not publish original research results. Guidelines for authors are available at http://www.agu.org/pubs/eos_guidelines 

.html. 

Eos also welcomes contributions that deal with the interfaces of geophysics with society. Eos is an effective medium to communicate 

with those involved in the study of Earth and its environment in space. 

Views expressed in this publication are those of the authors only and do not refl ect offi cial positions of the American Geophysical 

Union unless expressly stated. 

Eos: The Greek goddess of dawn, representing for AGU the new light continually being shed by basic geophysical research on the 

understanding of our planet and its environment in space.

Contents 

This volume contains reprinted articles, news items, and reviews that appeared 

in numbers 1–53 of Eos, the weekly newspaper of the American Geophysical Union. 

Advertising and announcements of an ephemeral nature have been deleted. To facilitate 

the proper citation of items that are reprinted in this archival edition of Eos, the numbers

AGU Supporting Members and Friends 

Thank you! Over the past year, AGU has received 10,276 gifts, both large and small, from members 

and friends. The Union has also received corporate contributions, National Science Foundation 

grants, and support from the National Oceanographic Partnership Program. Together their generosity 

has benefited AGU non-revenue-producing programs that are critical to our science and the future 

health of the Union. 

The following list gratefully acknowledges donors who have contributed $50 or more for five consecutive 

years, annual gifts of $100 or more, and cumulative giving of $5,000 or more. The 1919 Society 

($100,000 or more) and Benefactors ($5,000–$99,999) recognize single major gifts and cumulative 

contributions. Three Circles acknowledge annual giving: President’s Circle ($1,000 or more), Leadership 

Circle ($200–$999), and Supporters Circle ($100–$199). Supporting Life Members, who contribute a 

one-time gift of $1,200 in addition to lifetime dues, are among our most loyal supporters.

PAGES 518–520 

Thank you! Over the past year, AGU has received 10,276 gifts, both large and small, from 

members and friends. The Union has also received corporate contributions, National Science Foundation 

grants, and support from the National Oceanographic Partnership Program. Together their 

generosity has benefited AGU non-revenue-producing programs that are critical to our science and 

the future health of the Union. 

The following list gratefully acknowledges donors who have contributed $50 or more for five 

consecutive years, annual gifts of $100 or more, and cumulative giving of $5,000 or more. The 1919 

Society ($100,000 or more) and Benefactors ($5,000–$99,999) recognize single major gifts and 

cumulative contributions. Three Circles acknowledge annual giving: President’s Circle ($1,000 or 

more), Leadership Circle ($200–$999), and Supporters Circle ($100–$199). Supporting Life Members, 

who contribute a one-time gift of $1,200 in addition to lifetime dues, are among our most loyal 

supporters.

addition, this book should be very popular 

with young and future scientists who want a 

taste of what oceanography can be like.

Paul Adam Cassak and Christopher M. 

Cully have been awarded the F. L. Scarf 

Award, given annually to recent Ph.D. 

recipients for outstanding dissertation 

research that contributes directly to solarplanetary 

sciences. 

They will be formally presented with 

the award at the SPA Section Dinner during 

the 2008 AGU Fall Meeting, which will 

be held 15–19 December in San Francisco, 

Calif. 

Cassak’s thesis is entitled “The nonlinear 

dynamics of magnetic reconnection 

and applications to solar eruptions.” He 

received a B.S. in mathematics and physics 

from the University of Arizona in 1998, 

an M.S. in physics from the University of 

Wisconsin- Madison in 2001, and a Ph.D. 

in physics under the supervision of James 

Drake and Michael Shay at the University 

of Maryland, College Park, in 2006. Following 

a postdoc in physics at the University 

of Delaware, he became an assistant professor 

of physics at West Virginia University 

in 2008. His research interests are theoretical 

and numerical studies of magnetic 

reconnection.

Paul Adam Cassak Christopher M. Cully 

Cully’s thesis is entitled “Realistic 

plasma sheet models: Kinetic reconstructions 

using Cluster.” He received his B.S. 

(1999) and M.S. in physics (2001) from 

the University of Calgary, and a Ph.D. in 

astrophysics from the University of Colorado 

(2007), where he was supervised by 

Bob Ergun. He is currently on parental 

leave from the Swedish Institute of Space 

Rypina Receives 2008 Donald L. Turcotte Award 

PAGE 520 

Irina Rypina has been awarded the 

Donald L. Turcotte Award, given annually 

to recent Ph.D. recipients for outstanding 

dissertation research that contributes 

directly to the field of non linear geophysics. 

Rypina’s thesis is entitled “Lagrangian 

coherent structures and transport in 

two- dimensional incompressible flows 

with oceano graphic and atmospheric 

applications.” She will be formally presented 

with the award at the Nonlinear 

Geophysics Focus Group Reception during 

the 2008 AGU Fall Meeting, which 

Travel Grants Benefit 120 Students 

PAGE 520 

AGU is pleased to announce that 120 

students from 21 countries will travel to 

the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco to 

will be held 15–19 December in San Francisco, 

Calif. 

Irina received her B.S. in plasma physics 

from Nizhny Novgorod State University, 

in Russia, in 2002, an M.S. in physics from 

the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 

2003, and a Ph.D. in applied marine physics 

from the University of Miami in 2007. 

She is currently working as a postdoctoral 

investigator at Woods Hole Oceanographic 

Institution. Her research interests 

include dynamical systems theory, transport 

and mixing processes in oceanic and 

atmospheric flows, Hamiltonian dynamics, 

underwater acoustics, and magnetic 

confinement of plasmas. 

present their research. The travel grants are 

made possible through the generosity of 

Exxon Mobil, Northrup Grumman, Elsevier, 

Sequoia Scientifi c, Li-Cor Biogeosciences, 

Cassidy Associates, Decagon Devices, RBR 

Physics, where he has been working on 

data from the Cluster and Time History of 

Events and Macroscale Interactions During 

Substorms (THEMIS) missions. His 

research interests include magnetotail 

dynamics, particle energization in the radiation 

belts, and satellite- borne instrument 

development. 

Irina Rypina 

Ltd., Springer, Jamie A. Austin Jr., the Max 

Hammond Student Travel Endowment, and 

157 AGU members. The number of grants for 

students to travel to the Fall Meeting represents 

an increase of four times from those 

given in the previous years.
