The American Geophysical Union recently presented its science writing awards for 2003, which recognize the achievements of three journalists.

The David Perlman Award for Excellence in Science Journalism—News went to Charles Petit, senior writer for US News & World Report. He was honored by AGU for “Perilous Waters: A Climate Surprise May Be Brewing in the North Atlantic,” an article he wrote for the 1 April 2002 issue of that magazine.

The Walter Sullivan Award for Excellence in Science Journalism—Features was shared by producer Patric Senson and senior producer Jim Handman of Quirks and Quarks , a Canadian Broadcasting Corp radio show. They were acknowledged for a segment entitled “The Science of Climate Change,” which aired on 16 November 2002. The broadcast can be heard at http://radio.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/02-03/nov16.html .
