Congratulations to Margaret Torn, AmeriFlux Management Project lead PI! Margaret received an honorary doctorate from the University of Zurich last Saturday, in recognition of her efforts to deeper understanding of biogeochemical processes and their climate implications of the soil-plant-atmosphere system, which contribute to science-based solutions to sustainable development of natural resources.
She was one of a diverse team of distinguished scholars, including a husband-wife team of Biblical scholars from Yale, a physician from Uganda who has been working in AIDS research and treatment for many years, a veterinarian and a foundation head who have been working to save the Mongolian wild horse (Przewalski’s horse) from extinction, and a Japanese particle physicist who made a fundamental discovery at the Large Hadron Collider. Photographs taken by Jim Williams, Margaret’s husband, who had the pleasure of accompanying her to the ceremony.
