On September 24, 2025, Fidel Costa was made laureate of the prestigious Norman L. Bowen Award & Lecture by the American Geophysical Union. This award honors researchers each year for their outstanding contributions in volcanology, geochemistry, and petrology, and offers them a platform at the AGU’s annual Fall Meeting.
The Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris warmly congratulates Fidel Costa, distinguished with the Norman L. Bowen Award & Lecture, one of the most prestigious recognitions of the AGU’s Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology section.
The award highlights remarkable and lasting scientific contributions to the study of magmas, rocks, and volcanic processes. It may recognize a landmark discovery, a series of influential papers, or a major conceptual advance.
In addition to this distinction, Fidel Costa will deliver the Bowen Lecture at the AGU Fall Meeting, one of the world’s most important gatherings in Earth and space sciences.
This international recognition underscores the impact of Fidel Costa’s research on the understanding of volcanic systems and reflects the excellence and global reach of the IPGP’s science.
