President's Prize / Prix du
président
To: Hai
Lin for his significant contributions to extended-range
forecasting
research and to our understanding of low-frequency variability. His
milestone
paper, An observed connection between the North Atlantic
Oscillation
and the Madden-Julian Oscillation, published in the Journal of
Climate
in 2009, was the first to demonstrate a statistically significant
two-way
connection between the North Atlantic Oscillation and the tropical
convection
of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on intraseasonal time scales during
the
Northern Hemisphere winter season. This research was pivotal in leading
the way to advancing the science of extended-range weather prediction.
J.P. Tully Medal in
Oceanography /
Médaille
de J.P. Tully en océanographie
To: John
W. Loder for providing enhanced understanding and knowledge of
fundamental physical processes in both coastal and deep ocean regions
and
for providing exemplary scientific leadership and management in the
face
of reduced support for government laboratories. His deep
understanding
of theory, combined with his keen, insightful skills in analyzing data
have led to novel insights on the oceanography and climate of the
northwest
Atlantic basin. His vision and energy have mobilized the
community
to support long-term monitoring in the Labrador Sea, a key region for
the
study of climate change processes.
Andrew Thomson
Prize in
Applied
Meteorology
/
Prix du Andrew
Thomson
en
météorologie
appliquée
To: Bohdan
Kochtubajda for his long and dedicated service in the
application
of current weather data, analyses, and forecasts to tackling a variety
of practical problems. His tireless work with
multi-disciplinary
scientific teams on several meteorological research networks (e. g.,
the
Mackenzie GEWEX Study, MAGS; Storm Studies in the Arctic, STAR; and the
Drought Research Initiative, DRI), during the past 20 years has
facilitated
research projects to their successful completion. His long record
of providing clear, concise presentations of complex scientific issues
to both the scientific and general audiences has brought great credit
and
respect to our community.

François J. Saucier
To: Gary
Borstad for his longstanding leadership in the application of
science
to a wide range of applied projects in the oceanographic sciences, with
a particular focus on the application of remote sensing to the study of
marine processes and ecosystems. His scientific vision in leading
more than 200 oceanic/aquatic remote sensing projects worldwide has
facilitated
Canadian leadership in international oceanographic science applications.

To: Brad
Snyder for his delivery of operational excellence throughout
his
career, most recently in his work in the training of forecasters to
produce
exemplary services throughout the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic and
Paralympic
Games. His leadership in the creation of a Mountain Weather

Parsons Medal (2011) /
MPO
La médaille Timothy R. Parsons (2011)
To: Curtis
A. Suttle Associate
Dean of Science at the
University of British Columbia. Dr. Suttle's groundbreaking research on
marine viruses is work that has contributed significantly to the
further development of multidisciplinary ocean science. Dr.
Suttle's research has demonstrated that viruses, as mortality agents of
marine primary producers, have significant implications for the
pathways of nutrient and energy flow in the ocean. These findings have
had significant implications for many other ocean science disciplines. In
addition to the Parson's Medal, Dr. Suttle's many distinguished honours
acknowledging his contributions to science, include being named the
Zheng Zhong Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Xiamen University, China,
2010; the A. G. Huntsman Award for Excellence in Marine Science, 2010;
Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, 2008; and Fellow of The Canadian
Institute for Advanced Research, Program in Integrated Microbial
Biodiversity, 2007.
Dr. Suttle received his
B. Sc.
in
Zoology (with honours) from the University of British Columbia in 1978.
In 1987 he received his PhD in Botany, also from the University of
British Columbia. He has made significant contributions at a number of
institutions. Over the years, his career has taken him to: the
University of Washington, the Brookhaven National Laboratory, the State
University of New York at Stony Brook, Duke University, the University
of Texas at Austin, and the University of Constance, in Germany. |
À Curtis
A. Suttle doyen associé des sciences à
l'Université de la Colombie Britannique. Les recherches
novatrices de M. Suttle sur les virus marins ont grandement
contribué à l'avancement des sciences océaniques
multidisciplinaires. Les
recherches de M. Suttle ont démontré que les virus, en
tant que vecteurs de mortalité des producteurs marins primaires,
ont un impact majeur sur le parcours des nutriments et le flux
énergétique en milieu océanique. Ces
résultats ont eu d'importantes répercussions pour de
nombreuses autres branches des sciences océaniques. Outre la médaille Timothy R.
Parsons, M. Suttle a reçu de nombreux prix et distinctions
soulignant sa contribution à la science. Entre autres, il a
été nommé invité de marque Zheng Zhong par
l'Université de Xiamen en Chine en 2010, il a reçu le
prix A. G. Huntsman d'excellence dans les sciences marines en 2010, il
a été nommé membre de la Société
royale du Canada en 2008 et membre de l'Institut canadien de recherches
avancées, Programme de biodiversité microbienne
intégrée, en 2007.
M. Suttle a obtenu un
baccalauréat en zoologie (avec distinction) de
l'Université de la Colombie Britannique en 1978. En 1987, il a
obtenu un doctorat en botanique, également de
l'Université de la Colombie Britannique. Il a aussi
collaboré de façon importante avec de nombreuses
institutions. Au fil des années, sa carrière l'a
amené à travailler à l'Université de
Washington, au Brookhaven National Laboratory, à
l'Université de l'État de New York à Stony Brook,
à l'Université Duke, à l'Université du
Texas à Austin et à l'Université de Constance en
Allemagne.
