AWI-Scientist Markus Rex Receives Dobson-Award
June 25, 2004For his work on interactions between climate change and the ozone layer, Dr Markus Rex of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (Research branch Potsdam) received the 'Dobson-Award' on May 31, 2004. The Quadrennial Ozone Symposium in Greece was chosen to present the award for the first time.
Markus Rex was honoured for his publication "On the unexplained stratospheric ozone losses during cold Arctic Januaries". In addition, his overall contribution to ozone research, consisting of a number of acknowledged publications, was recognised in the honorary address. In particular, two of his studies were identified as highlights by the American Geophysical Union. There were numerous nominations for the award from all over the world. The final award winner was selected from a shortlist of nine scientists.
The Dobson-Award was created by the International Ozone Commission (IOC), which also decides on its recipient. Every four years, starting in 2004, it will be given to a young scientist for the most significant contribution to ozone research, in terms of substance and innovation, during the previous four years. The award consists of a replica of an antique statue depicting the Greek goddess Diana.

Chinese government regulators had clearer skies and easier breathing in mind in the summer of 2008 when they temporarily shuttered some factories and banished many cars in a pre-Olympic sprint to clean up Beijing's air. And that's what they got.
Chemist tames longstanding electron computation problem
When the University of Chicago's David Mazziotti talks about chemistry, perhaps he is thinking about how the behavior of all of the electrons in a molecule can be anticipated from the behavior of just two of its electrons.
Smokers see decline in ability to smell, rise in laryngitis, and upper airway issues
As Americans prepare for a day without cigarettes and tobacco products as part of the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout (R) (November 20), new research gives them more reasons to extend that break to a lifetime.
Potent greenhouse gas more prevalent in atmosphere than previously assumed
A powerful greenhouse gas is at least four times more prevalent in the atmosphere than previously estimated, according to a team of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.
Wildfires Cause Ozone Pollution to Violate Health Standards, New Study Shows
Wildfires can boost ozone pollution to levels that violate U.S. health standards, a new study concludes.
2008 ozone hole larger than last year
The 2008 ozone hole - a thinning in the ozone layer over Antarctica - is larger both in size and ozone loss than 2007 but is not as large as 2006.
International Field Campaign examines impact of beetle kill on Rocky Mountain weather, air quality
Mountain pine beetles appear to be doing more than killing large swaths of forests in the Rocky Mountains. Scientists suspect they are also altering local weather patterns and air quality.
Pine Bark Beetles Affecting More than Forests
Pine bark beetles appear to be doing more than killing large swaths of forests in the Rocky Mountains. Scientists suspect they are also altering local weather patterns and air quality.
IMPACTS: On the Threshold of Abrupt Climate Changes
Abrupt climate change is a potential menace that hasn't received much attention. That's about to change. Through its Climate Change Prediction Program, the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research (OBER) recently launched IMPACTS - Investigation of the Magnitudes and Probabilities of Abrupt Climate Transitions - a program led by William Collins of Berkeley Lab's Earth Sciences Division (ESD) that brings together six national laboratories to attack the problem of abrupt climate change, or ACC.
Pollution, everyday allergens, may be sources of laryngitis
Everyday exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, allergens, and air pollution may be the root of chronic cases of laryngitis, says new research presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO in Chicago, IL.

CFCs have been used as refrigerants, solvents, foam blowing agents, and outside the United States, as... |
