Early career award for Tom Gleeson

Dr. Tom Gleeson (engineering) has won the Early Career Award from the Hydrologic Sciences section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) which goes to an international hydrology researcher within six years of their PhD. Gleeson’s work focuses on mega-scale groundwater systems and groundwater sustainability.An upcoming edition of Nature Geoscience will feature Gleeson’s expansive and interdisciplinary research, which addresses how much groundwater the planet holds and how long until it runs out. It will be of interest to water managers and policy developers, as well as scientists from a number of fields such as hydrology, atmospheric science, geochemistry and oceanography. He will be presented with the award at the AGU meeting in December.
