Please join us in congratulating Morris Cohen on being named President-elect of the Atmospheric and Space Electricity Section (ASE) of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
The AGU has 60,000 members in 137 countries, covering all aspects of geoscience on Earth and in space. The AGU's annual meeting draws about 25,000 attendees. ASE is one of 25 sections of AGU, focusing on the physics and global impacts of lightning, electrodynamic processes coupling lightning and thunderstorms, the ionosphere, and the near-Earth space environment, all observed on the ground, in the air and from satellites. The President-elect serves a two-year term, to be followed by two years as section President, and serves on AGU's governing council for those four years.
Dr. Cohen is also the VIP Advisor for Ligtning from the Edge of Space! This team launches weather balloons loaded with electronics, cameras, communicaitons, and sensors to the edge of space (100,000 ft) to not only capture incredible views but to gather valuable scientific data about thunderstorms (electric fields, x-rays. and option measurements).
Thank you for being an excellent ambassador for ECE and Georgia Tech, Morris. We are very proud of you and this latest achievement, and we look forward to your continued success!
