Scientists and staff at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have won national awards and distinguished fellowships from two of the nation's leading Earth system science organizations: the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
The ten award winners have been recognized for their contributions to Earth and space science through innovative research, high-quality reviews, and commitment to higher education. The NCAR and UCAR awardees and fellows are: Jeffrey Anderson, Julie Demuth, Andrew Gettelman, Sarah Gibson, Neil Jacobs, Gerald Meehl, Maria Molina, Angeline Pendergrass, Valerie Sloan, and Ryan Sobash.
"Congratulations to this year's prestigious awards winners – this recognition is well deserved," said UCAR President Antonio Busalacchi. "We are very proud to have such a high number of awardees this year, which highlights our staff's commitment to world-class science in support of society."
AGU honorees will be recognized during the 2022 AGU Fall Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, in December 2022, and the AMS honorees will receive theirs at the 103rd AMS Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado, in January 2023.
UCAR manages NCAR on behalf of the National Science Foundation (NSF).
