The American Meteorological Society (AMS) has announced that Leo Donner, a Physical Scientist in GFDL’s Atmospheric Physics division, was elected a Fellow for 2019. Dr. Donner is widely recognized for his novel work on cloud and convective processes in the atmospheric general circulation. His research has yielded important insights about interactions between processes on the […]
Rong Zhang, an Oceanographer and head of the Ocean and Cryosphere division, was elected a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) for 2019. She is recognized for her work on the mechanisms of Atlantic multidecadal variability and associated decadal predictability, and the impact of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) on global and regional climate […]
Shian-Jiann (S.J.) Lin, head of GFDL’s Weather and Climate Dynamics Group, has been elected a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). AMS Fellows are chosen for having “made outstanding contributions to the atmospheric or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences or their applications during a substantial period of years.” Examples of Dr. Lin’s significant contributions […]
Stephen M. Griffies was elected a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) for 2017 for “exceptional and sustained contributions to the understanding of large-scale ocean circulation and physics and seminal advances in ocean modeling.” His research has provided important insights about ocean fluid mechanics and the role that ocean circulation plays in the global […]
Larry Horowitz, Leader of GFDL’s Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Group, has been honored with AGU’s Ascent Award for Atmospheric Sciences this year. The Atmospheric Sciences Ascent Award rewards exceptional mid-career scientists in the atmospheric and climate sciences. Honorees are recognized for demonstrating excellence in research and leadership in his or her field. AGU award recipients […]
GFDL senior scientist Isaac Held will present the 2016 Jacob Bjerknes Lecture on December 13th at the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) annual fall meeting in San Francisco. The Bjerknes Lecture, one of the two most distinguished named lectures of the Atmospheric Sciences Section of AGU, is awarded annually to a prominent scientist. The lecture is […]
The American Meteorological Society has announced its 2016 award recipients, and GFDL’s Director, V. “Ram” Ramaswamy has been named the Walter Orr Roberts Lecturer in Interdisciplinary Sciences. Ram is being recognized, “For pioneering scientific achievements that have synthesized atmospheric radiation, physics of greenhouse gases and aerosols, and state-of-the-art Earth system modeling.” The lectureship is presented […]
Sarah Kapnick has been recognized by American Geophysical Union (AGU) with the Cryosphere Early Career Award for 2015. As a Physical Research Scientist in the Climate Change, Variability, and Predictions Group at GFDL, Dr. Kapnick’s research focuses on the mechanisms controlling extreme storms and mountain snowpack. She uses data from both observations and models to […]
The Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres has awarded GFDL senior scientist, Paul Ginoux, its 2014 Editors’ Citation for Excellence in Refereeing. The award will be announced in an upcoming issue of Eos. The citation recognizing Dr. Ginoux “is to express publicly the gratitude of AGU to those whose reviews have been particularly commendable. Your contributions […]
European Geosciences Union has awarded the 2014 Fridtjof Nansen Medal to Stephen M. Griffies, “for his outstanding contribution and leadership in ocean general circulation model development and critical insights in the physical nature and parameterisation of ocean processes.” The Ocean Sciences Division of the European Geosciences Union established this medal in 1996, in recognition of […]
