Abstract
Nominations for the first Gilbert F. White Distinguished Lecture Award, sponsored by AGU's Natural Hazards Focus Group, are due 1 May. The lecture, established last year, will be given during the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, 3–7 December. The lecture is named for Gilbert F. White (1911–2006), an AGU Fellow who was internationally known for his significant contributions to natural hazards research. Some of White's most notable work involved the identification and classification of adjustment mechanisms for flooding in the United States, perceptions of natural hazards, and the importance of sound water management in contemporary society. White advocated, where feasible, adaptation to or accommodation of food hazards rather than the “structural” solutions (e.g., dams, levees, and foodwalls) that dominated policy in the early twentieth century
