NASA Scientists Awarded Distinction of AGU Fellows Dr. Michael Mishchenko, an atmospheric scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, N.Y. and Dr. Anne Thompson, an atmospheric scientist at Goddard in Greenbelt has been awarded the distinction of Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). New Fellows will be presented with an official certificate during the Honors Ceremony at the Joint EGS-EUG-AGU Meeting in Nice, France, on Wednesday, April 10. Mishchenko is one of 41 new AGU Fellows elected by scientific peers in recognition of their acknowledged eminence in one or more branches of geophysics. The number of Fellows elected each year is limited to no more than 0.1% of the total membership of AGU. A senior researcher at GISS, Mishchenko was cited for his pioneering work in electromagnetic scattering and radiative transfer and their applications to remote sensing and climate research. In addition, AGU has a diverse program for recognizing members who have attained an acknowledged eminence in a branch of the geophysical sciences. This designation is conferred upon not more than 0.1% of all AGU members in any given year. Thompson is one of 41 new Fellows chosen by a Committee of Fellows. A researcher within the Laboratory for Atmospheres, Thompson was cited "for important innovative research and leadership in elucidating variations in tropospheric chemistry and their relationship to climate change." Over the past 12 years, Thompson's major achievements have been in the field of tropical tropospheric ozone. She has promoted the use of novel satellite techniques to look at how tropical storm systems and grasslands fires interact with ozone. For more on
