   for leadership in atmospheric sciences in Canada; fundamental contributions to research in data assimilation; and education and mentorship of a generation of Canadian atmospheric scientists.



The President's Prize / Le Prix du président

 * Carolyn Buchwald (Halifax NS)

for her 2016 paper Constraining the role of iron in environmental nitrogen transformations: Dual stable isotope systematics of abiotic NO2 reduction by Fe (II) and its production of N2O, published in the Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.  Dr. Buchwald's paper elucidated the isotope systematics of nitrogen; helping to disentangle the reaction pathways of nitrogen in relation to ecosystem function, the production of greenhouse gases, and the reconstruction of the evolution of iron and nitrogen-based metabolic and abiotic pathways.

The 2022 CNC / SCOR Early Career Ocean Scientist Award

La distinction CNC / SCOR pour chercheur en début de carrière en océanographie 2022

Maya Bhatia


Dr. Bhatia, Assistant professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences,
University of Alberta, is an oustanding researcher who is undertaking cutting-edge research focused on ocean bigoechemistry and oceanography in northern Canada, while also working on projects related to the cryosphere and mountain environments. Her work is providing significant advances in our understanding of the ocean is changing in a warming climate, and the role of glaciers in providing nutrients to the ocean.

In particular, her nominees wanted to bring attention to the outstanding contributions Maya has made in the following areas:

  • notable leadership in securing funding
  • remarkable achievements in building collaborations
  • excellence in student mentorship
  • outstanding success in leading field work under challenging circumstances in the far north of Canada, in and around Jones Sound
  • a genuine commitment to building positive relationships with the local Inuit community

In summary, Dr. Bhatia is an outstanding early career scientist navigating the challenges of establishing a sustained research program in Canada's North with remarkable care and success. She is an outstanding role model for being an engaged and conscientious environmental scientist at this critical time. And thus, an excellent winner of the 2022 CNC-SCOR Early Career Ocean Scientist Award.
