The 2018 science intern award winners are Natasha Dacic, Alexandra Hanselman, and Katherine Melbourne. They are pictured here with Colleen Hartman, Blanche Meeson, and Raquel Marshall from the education office.
The Science Jamboree on July 25th provided an opportunity to learn more about the amazing breadth of science conducted at Goddard while connecting with colleagues and potential collaborators.
Congratulations Anne Thompson, 2018 Nordberg Award Winner
06.29.2018
We are thrilled to announce the selection of Anne Thompson as the 2018 Nordberg Award winner. Anne’s incredibly wide ranging research and service, nationally and internationally, makes her such a deserving recipient of this award. Although her research focuses on tropospheric chemistry, it has spanned a broad realm of Earth Science, including seminar work in air/sea exchange of trace gases, the importance of stratosphere-troposphere exchange for ozone, and the interconnection of atmospheric composition and climate. Anne has spent a large part of her time in the chemistry lab as well as in the field, characterizing the distribution of tropospheric ozone from satellites and ground-based measurements.
Anne has been President of the Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution where she led efforts to coordinate global research. She is Co-Chair of the Steering Committee for the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change. Anne is a Fellow of the AMS, AGU and AAAS and she has been elected President of the Atmospheric Sciences Section of the AGU and AMS Councils.
Anne engages people and brings them together to form measurement networks. She has been a driving force in forging the link between ground, suborbital and satellite observations in ozone. Somehow, Anne has also managed to put the training of young scientists in the US and abroad on the front-burner as well. Her research has resulted in more than 260 referred papers and an H-index of >54. Anne is a leader of people, technology and science.
Message from the Sciences and Exploration Director
Dr. Colleen Hartman
I’d like to welcome you to NASA Goddard’s Science and Exploration Directorate -- the largest Earth and space science research organization in the world. Located across our main campus at Greenbelt, MD, New York City and Wallops Flight Facility, we total more than 2,000 employees, including civil servants, university scientists, contractors and students.
We like to say Goddard begins with science. With an interwoven and collaborative team of world-class scientists, engineers and technologists, we take ideas from concept to launch and discovery. We are trailblazers, on Earth and in space, with an official mission to explore fundamental questions about our Earth, our sun, the planets and the universe. We seek to better understand our universe and the relationship between our physical world and human life.
