Stan Wullschleger
For outstanding leadership and pioneering research in climate and the environmental sciences
Paul J Hanson
For environmental-effects research related to energy technologies and their use, focusing on the impacts of climate and atmospheric changes on the physiology, growth, and biogeochemical cycles of North American forest ecosystems.
Brian C Sales
For pioneering research and development of new materials for advanced energy technologies, including materials for (a) the storage of nuclear waste, (b) the solid-state generation of electrical power directly from heat, and (c) the lossless transport of electricity.
Budhendra L Bhaduri
For his role in conceiving, designing, and implementing novel geocomputational methods to help solve a wide variety of national and global problems in energy, the environment, and national security.
Sheng Dai
For pioneering studies of the functionality of mesoporous oxides and carbons for real-world applications, ionic liquids for chemical separation and materials synthesis, and catalysis by nanomaterials.
Stephen E Nagler
For his pioneering contributions to the study of nonequilibrium systems, quantum magnetism, and excitations in condensed matter.
Richard J Norby
For his research on the effects of elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide on terrestrial ecosystems.
Paul F Becher
For basic studies in the fracture of and toughening mechanisms in ceramics and ceramic composites, in the establishment of the relationships between microstructure and composition and mechanical behavior, and in the development of advanced ceramic materials.
Benjamin A Carreras
For contributions to understanding plasma turbulence and the nonlinear properties of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities, especially their role in explaining the behavior of magnetically confined plasmas, and for development of new magnetic confinement concepts that overcome these limitations.
