Professor WU Fuyuan was elected to Fellow of Geological Society of America (GSA) in 2012.

Society Fellowship is an honor bestowed on the best of our profession by election at the spring GSA Council meeting. GSA members are nominated by existing GSA Fellows in recognition of their distinguished contributions to the geosciences through such avenues as publications, applied research, teaching, administration of geological programs, contributing to the public awareness of geology, leadership of professional organizations, and taking on editorial, bibliographic, and library responsibilities.

GSA’s newly elected Fellows were recognized at the 2012 GSA Annual Meeting Awards Ceremony on Monday, 5 November, at the Charlotte Convention Center.
