Atmospheric Sciences Section
Yoram J. Kaufman Unselfish Cooperation in Research Award
In 2008, the Atmospheric Sciences Section of the American Geophysical Union established an annual section award for senior atmospheric scientists, the Yoram J. Kaufman Unselfish Cooperation in Research Award. This award is named in honor of Yoram J. Kaufman, an outstanding atmospheric scientist, mentor, and creator of international collaborations who worked on atmospheric aerosols and their influence on the Earth's climate for his entire 30-year career. Yoram was tragically killed in a bicycle accident at the peak of his career at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. He grew in the 1990s to be a leading light in aerosol research, both as an author of many new theoretical ideas and as a leader of field campaigns like SCAR-B. He also captained the first NASA Earth Observing System platform, Terra, as its Project Scientist. He advised and mentored a large number of students and junior scientists, and was known for his quick insight, great heart, deep wisdom, and outreach to national and international collaborators.
First presented in 2009, the Yoram J. Kaufman Award recognizes "broad influence in atmospheric science through exceptional creativity, inspiration of younger scientists, mentoring, international collaborations, and unselfish cooperation in research." The Kaufman Award consists of a certificate, $1,000, and dinner at the Fall Meeting Atmospheric Sciences Section Banquet, where the award will be presented. When the award is presented to a scientist from outside the U.S., it will consist in addition of a travel grant of $500 specifically to attend the AGU meeting at which it is presented.
To be eligible, the candidate must be a member of the AGU, and at least 10 years past the award of the Ph.D (or equivalent). The nomination package must consist of five items, each no longer than 2 pages in length:
