Jointly to Penny Chisholm and John Cullen for their significant contributions to the global community in their foresight and effective efforts in addressing the environmental impacts of ocean iron fertilization which has led to high quality research on iron biogeochemistry and plankton dynamics as well as the development of key policies through the International Maritime Organization and UN Convention on Biodiversity.
Drs. Chisholm and Cullen were nominated by Philip Boyd with letters of endorsement provided by Ken Denman, Charlie Miller, and Pat Glibert.
