U-M Professor claims a share of the Nobel Peace Prize

YCD has been tough on the AOSS Department when needed but they have BIG NEWS to report this morning. I'll run with their press release but congrats to Joyce Penner and the AOSS team who shared this award (with Al Gore by the way).

From AOSS:
Two AOSS faculty and two AOSS students part of IPCC, co-winner of '07 Nobel Peace Prize

Congratulations to AOSS faculty members Joyce Penner and Natasha Andronova and AOSS students Minghuai Wang and Li Xu — part of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that was a co-winner with Al Gore of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. Joyce was one of the 7 lead authors, Natasha one of 25 contributing authors and Minghuai and Li were contributors to the Fourth Assessment Report chapter, Understanding and Attributing Climate Change.


Professor Penner is the Ralph J. Cicerone Distinguished University Professor of Atmospheric Science and Dr. Andronova is a research scientist in AOSS. Both Wang and Xu are doctoral students in the Department.
