"For your significant contribution to our understanding of the evolution of, carbon sequestration in, and sedimentation in Hudson River marshes. Your passion as a mentor has led countless graduate students into scientific research.
Established in 2013 by the Elsevier award program, this prestigious Elsevier/JQSRT (Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer) award is named after Richard M. Goody, whose pioneering research has had a profound and long-lasting impact on the disciplines of atmospheric radiation, remote sensing, and climate science.
An award for a contractor employee who, by distinguished service, ability, or vision has personally contributed to the advancement of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Wallops Flight Facility. This award replaces the former Wallops Director’s Award and is the highest award bestowed at Wallops. The citation reads: "For distinguished Goddard Space Flight Center and Wallops Flight Facility public service as a NASA contractor for over two decades, inspiring students, educators, citizen scientists, researchers, and the public!"
For their article titled “Remotely Sensed Soil Moisture Can Capture Dynamics Relevant to Plant Water Uptake.” Papers are selected “that the WRR Editor’s consider being in the top ~1% published in the journal each calendar year.”
The Peter S. Eagleson Hydrologic Sciences Award formerly known as the Hydrologic Sciences Award and the Robert E. Horton Award from 1956 to 1998, is presented annually and recognizes outstanding contributions to the science of hydrology over the course of the awardees’ careers. Successful nominees are senior scientists, with an emphasis on their contributions over the past five years.
For her pioneering work in developing and integrating models with remote sensing observations to understand aerosol sources, sinks, and their impacts on the Earth and its environment
Paul B. Wagner Memorial Award for Women in the Atmospheric Sciences
Named in honor of Arthur S. Flemming, awardees are recognized for excellence in federal service. Dr. Douglas Morton, of NASA Goddard's Biospheric Sciences Laboratory, was recognized in the category of Applied Science and Engineering. Dr. Morton is being recognized for his leadership in the development of remote-sensing techniques as well as technologies for the detection, monitoring, and study of forest dynamics, fires, and the carbon cycle.
The article "Atmospheric response to a collapse of the North Atlantic circulation under a mid-range future climate scenario: A regime shift in Northern Hemisphere dynamics" by Clara Orbe et al.. was voted the best research publication by the science staff of Goddard Institute for Space Studies to have been published in 2023. The paper appeared in the Journal of Climate.
The prize recognizes “outstanding achievement by an individual in the pursuit and/or application of geographical research, with a particular emphasis on wildlife conservation and environmental research studies.”
