Dr. Piers Sellers
Dr. Piers Sellers, an Interdisciplinary Principal
Investigator, a co-investigator on the MISR instrument, AM
Project Scientist, and Panel Chair for the Science Working
Group for the AM Platform (SWAMP), has received an Arthur S.
Flemming Award for his achievements in research in the areas
of biosphere-atmosphere interaction modeling; the design,
implementation, and conduct of large-scale field
experiments; and remote sensing science. These awards are
given to outstanding young federal workers for their
scientific, technical, and administrative achievements.
Sellers has been a key scientist in the conception and
design of several major, international field experiments
related to land-atmosphere interactions. His pioneering work
in the use of radiative transfer theory shows that
small-scale biospheric processes can be measured by
satellite.
Dr. Michael King
Congratulations to Dr. Michael D. King, EOS Senior Project
Scientist, who was recently awarded an honorary Doctor of
Science degree by Colorado College for his recognition as a
world expert in remote sensing of the Earth and its
atmosphere. The citation reads "... Michael King has devoted
his career to remote sensing and its application to our
environment. He is at the forefront of our nation's effort
to obtain reliable and significant information on which to
build national and global environmental policy." The EOS
community salutes Dr. King for this outstanding
accomplishment.
Dr. Mark R. Schoeberl
Dr. Mark R. Schoeberl was selected as an AGU Fellow in 1995.
This selection was based on the individual's attainment of
acknowledged eminence in a branch of geophysics. The number
of Fellows selected annually is limited to no more than 0.1%
of the AGU membership . Dr. Schoeberl is recognized for his
leadership in the field of stratospheric and mesospheric
dynamics, outstanding works in quantifying the role of
transport in global ozone depletion, and fundamental
contributions to geophysical fluid dynamics.
