1 In Brief PAGE 410 DeFries named MacArthur Fellow Ruth DeFries, a professor in the Department of Geography and the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Maryland, College Park, was named as a MacArthur Fellow, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation announced on 25 September. An environmental geographer, DeFries, was cited for combining remote satellite Eos, Vol. 88, No. 41, 9 October 2007 imagery and a deep understanding of the environmental effects of agriculture and urbanization to illuminate key processes transforming our planet. Each fellow will receive $500,000 in no strings attached support over the next 5 years. DeFries was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in She coedited the 1994 AGU book Ecosystems and Land Use Change and currently is an executive editor of Environment magazine. She is the 18th AGU member to be named a MacArthur fellow since U.S. Space Environment Center renamed The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration s Space Environment Center changed its name on 1 October to the NOAA Prediction Center. The new name reflects the rapidly growing importance of solar storm forecasts to the nation s economy and security, explained the center s director, Thomas Bogdan. Adverse space weather can disrupt power grids, disturb communications and navigation systems, interrupt satellite signals, and increase radiation doses to astronauts as well as to airline crews and passengers.
