Congratulations to HAS Joint Professor Armin Sorooshian on his election as an AGU Fellow and being named recipient of the AGU Joanne Simpson Medal!
Sorooshian was selected for these prestigious honors for his groundbreaking research on airborne particles and their effects on climate. His contribution to the HAS department has been exemplary, and he has recruited, mentored, and directed many HAS students' thesis and dissertation research projects.
The Joanne Simpson Medal is given annually to two to three middle career honorees in recognition of their significant contributions to Earth and space science. The medal recognizes exceptional middle career scientists who have made transformative scientific advances or breakthrough in the Earth and space sciences, have demonstrated strong leadership, and provided outstanding service to science and society. Recipients of this award may work across any Earth and space science discipline. This medal is named in honor of Joanne Simpson, who was the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in meteorology and during her career made fundamental contributions to modern research on tropical clouds and hurricanes.
