Tulane Geoscientist Cynthia Ebinger Elected to National Academy of Sciences and American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Cynthia “Cindy” J. Ebinger, a Tulane University geoscientist internationally recognized for her research on earthquakes, tectonics and Earth’s evolving crust, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors accorded to a scientist.
The recognition comes on the heels of her election last week to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and her selection last year as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Ebinger, the Marshall-Heape Chair in Geology in Tulane’s School of Science and Engineering, is among leading scholars recognized for advancing their fields through sustained, high-impact research.
“Cynthia’s election to the National Academy of Sciences, along with her recent election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, reflects the kind of work that defines Tulane at its best – rigorous, collaborative research that advances knowledge and helps us better understand and respond to the world around us,” said Tulane President Michael A. Fitts. “From global systems to seismic activity here in Louisiana, her work turns discovery into real-world insights and impact.”
