Brad Hacker has been named the 2020 recipient of the Norman L. Bowen Award from the AGU’s Section of Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology, for his outstanding contribution to the discipline. The list of celebrated previous winners of this prestigious award signals the research eminence of its recipients. Among other luminaries, I am happy to note that Brad joins Roberta Rudnick in  earning this distinction. Awardees are selected on the basis of a single outstanding paper published in any journal, a series of papers, or any other contribution the Bowen Awards Committee deems worthy. Please join me in congratulating Brad for his influential, multifaceted contributions to our science, and for being recognized so prominently for them by his peers.
