We are very pleased to welcome nominations for awards in the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer for early-career researchers. Four nominations for the 2014 and 2015 Goody Awards and the 2014 and 2015 Peter C. Waterman Awards are solicited.
Goody Award is a newly established young-scientist award named after Richard M. Goody (born 1921) and will be competed among early-career scientists who work in the fields of Atmospheric Radiation and Remote Sensing.
The prestigious award named after Peter C. Waterman (1928–2012) recognizes early-career scientists for their outstanding work on the theory and applications of Electromagnetic Scattering.
Both Awards will be presented at the 15th Electromagnetic and Light Scattering Conference (ELS-XV) which will be held in Leipzig, Germany 21–26 June 2015. Each award will consist of a certificate and a USD 750 monetary prize.
The recipients of the Awards will be selected by a distinguished Award Committee and announced at the ELS-XV conference banquette.
