European young scientist awards for German researchers
Markus Reichstein, Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research,
Potsdam/Germany and University of Tuscia, Viterbo/Italy, and Mona
Vetter, Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry, Jena, have received
this year´s young scientists awards for the best publications in the
field of carbon cycle research.
160 scientists from 20 countries met in Finland from 14 to 18 November
2005 in the frame of the European research project CarboEurope
(www.carboeurope.org) to discuss recent advances in the understanding of
interactions between climate change and the carbon cycle in ecosystems.
During this event this year´s best European publication by a young
scientist in the field of carbon cycle science was awarded. The jury,
composed of high profile scientists from Australia and the US,
acknowledged the breadth and quality of European science and
publications. "In this field Europe is two years ahead of the other
continents", emphasized jury member Scott Denning from Colordado State
University in Boulder/CO (USA). Selection criteria for the award were
the applicability of the results across multiple parts of carbon cycle
science, innovation, and insightful analysis. This year, the jury
awarded two first prizes to German scientists: Dr. Markus Reichstein
from Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Potsdam/Germany and
University of Tuscia, Viterbo/Italy, was awarded for his review of
methods to determine the relation between photosynthesis and respiration
in ecosystems. Dr. Mona Vetter from Max-Planck-Institute for
Biogeochemistry, Jena/Germany was awarded for her detailed analysis of
the reasons for accelerated growth of Thuringian forests. The jury
highlighted the innovative use of very different sources of information
such as forest inventories and models in this analysis.
