Citation
I am delighted to nominate Dr. Veronika Eyring for the AGU Ambassador Award. Veronika’s leadership in the climate science community is exemplary, particularly through her pivotal role in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Under her guidance, CMIP has become a critical framework for understanding climate change and has been instrumental in shaping international climate reports, including those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This was exemplified by her inaugural lecture at the COP (Conference of the Parties) meeting in Sharm el Sheikh in 2022. Veronika’s strength lies not only in her broad scientific expertise but also in her ability to unite people with diverse expertise and from different areas. She has a unique talent for fostering collaboration, bringing together diverse scientists to work toward shared goals inspired by her long-term vision. This vision has helped create new synergies and initiatives in the climate community, leading to meaningful impact in the field. What truly sets Veronika apart is her selfless leadership. She consistently prioritizes the success of the community above her own, mentoring others and ensuring that resources and opportunities are widely shared. Her dedication to supporting others and leading the community has made her a role model for collaboration and integrity in science.I cannot think of anyone who better embodies the spirit of the AGU Ambassador Award than Veronika, with her visionary leadership, her ability to inspire collaborations among diverse groups, and her unselfish commitment to the global climate community. I am delighted to see AGU recognizing her. —Pierre Gentine Columbia UniversityNew York, New York
