Call for
Nominations: 2024 Francois Arago Award in Polarimetric Remote Sensing
We are
pleased to solicit nominations for the 2024 Francois Arago Award presented
by the International APOLO Project. This senior Award is intended to
celebrate profound contributions by a prominent scientist to the research
field of
polarimetric remote sensing.
Dominique
Francois Jean Arago (1786-1853) was a great French physicist and astronomer
as well as a prominent politician. Using his ingeniously designed optical
instrumentation, he pioneered the discipline of polarimetric
observations
in geophysics and astrophysics and is a founder of polarimetry as a remote
sensing tool.
On behalf of
the Francois Arago Award Committee, we invite you to nominate a highly
deserving candidate for the 2024 Award. Nominations of scientists of all
nationalities will be considered. Each nomination package
(to be
submitted as a single PDF file) must consist of a detailed nomination
letter and the nominee CV and publications list. The nomination letter must
focus on the pioneering research contributions of the nominee and
an
explanation of their fundamental importance. Self-nominations will not be
accepted.
The Francois
Arago Awardees:
2017 -
Maurice Herman;
2019 -
Michael Mishchenko;
2022 - Brian
Cairns.
Nominations
should be submitted by 1st August 2024 to Dr. Didier Tanre
(Award Committee Chairman) at didier.tanre@univ-lille.fr
with a copy to Dr. Oleg Dubovik at oleg.dubovik@univ-lille.fr .
The award
will be presented at the forthcoming APOLO-2024 conference, 18-21 November
2024, Kyoto, Japan (https://apolo.loa.univ-lille.fr
).
We look
forward to your nominations for the 2024 Francois Arago Award selection.
