Wagner Memorial Award
Ariane Verdy (Physical Oceanography) has been selected to received the 2007 Peter B. Wagner Memorial Award, presented by the Desert
Research Institute to a woman in the atmospheric sciences based on a
competition among papers submitted or published during the year. Ariane's paper is "Carbon dioxide and oxygen fluxes
in the Southern Ocean: Mechanisms of interannual variability" and is
published in Global Biogeochemical Cycles.
Geological Society of America Geophysics Student Award
Clare Williams (Geology & Geophysics) wrote a proposal to the Geological Society of America for funds to analyze magnetic properties of rock samples. Not only did she receive the funding, but she was awarded the GSA's 2006 Geophysics Student Award for an "outstanding student research grant project which involves the application of the principals and techniques of geophysics" on October 24, 2006 at the GSA meeting in Philadelphia.
