Prize Shukla gets International Meteorological Society Prize
Professor Jagadish Shukla, Chair of the Climate Dynamics Department at George Mason University, Virginia, and President of the Institute of Global Environment and Society, was formally awarded the International Meteorological Society Prize on March 28.
An "internationally acclaimed researcher, educator, and institution builder, whose work has led to substantially greater understanding of the predictability of climate," Shukla received the Prize at a special ceremony at the National Academy of Sciences. The announcement regarding his award was made earlier this year.
In January this year, the Governor of Virginia Time Kaine, appointed Shukla to his Commission on Climate Change. At that time, Shukla told News India-Times he had been awarded the prestigious IMO Prize awarded by the World Meteorological Society.
His scientific contributions include research on the Asian monsoon, deforestation, desertification, and predictability of weather and climate. His research has established the existence of predictability in the midst of chaos and provided a scientific basis for short-term climate prediction.
