It is my great pleasure to officially announce the recipients of
the four medals awarded for the Huntsman award 25th anniversary.
They are:
Interdisciplinary Marine Science: Dr. Robert F. Anderson of the
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, for his
innovative contributions in the fields of biochemical cycles, ocean
sedimentation and climate variability, through his development and
use of pioneering radioisotope tracers and his scientific leadership
in multidisciplinary programs.
Biological/Fisheries Oceanography: Dr. Sallie (Penny) W. Chisholm
of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), for her insightful
and lasting contributions to the fields of biological oceanography
and microbial ecology which have fundamentally changed our perspective
of the nature of life in the sea.
Marine Geosciences: Dr. Edouard Bard of the Université d'Aix-Marseille
and Collège de France, for his significant contributions to isotopic
dating and proxy thermometry techniques and their application to
studies of the Earth's paleoclimate and, in particular, its ice-age
climate and sea level dynamics.
Physical/Chemical Oceanography: Dr. Trevor J. McDougall, of the
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)
in Australia, for his leading role in developing a practical understanding
of important thermodynamic and dynamic processes in the ocean, which
are a key to the determination of the mixing motions that so strongly
influence ocean circulation and heat transport. The complete citations
for the winners can be read at http://www.bio.gc.ca/huntsman/winner-e.html.
Please feel free to pass this annoucement along to students and
colleagues. The medals will be awarded during a special two-day
event, September 6 and 7 2005, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The event will include medal presentations, distinguished lectures
by the award winners and plenty of social gatherings (including
an award banquet!). Watch http://www.bio.gc.ca/huntsman/huntsman25-e.html
for more announcements as plans are being finalized. For those in
the area, and also for those who would like to visit us (weather
is usually beautiful at that time of the year), mark these dates
on your calendar as this will be a unique opportunity to celebrate
excellence in oceanographic research.
