Awards

2024: Dr. Jorge Chau: His contribution to terrestrial Aeronomy, particularly in low, middle, and high latitudes is significant.  His participation and work for SCOSTEP and its capacity building programme are also worth recognition.

2024: Dr. Jan Lastovicka: His contribution is mainly in the ionospheric field, particularly related to geomagnetic storm effects in the ionosphere.  His expertise in
mesosphere-thermosphere-ionosphere system is widely recognised.  Besides this, he played active role and contributed significantly to several activities of SCOSTEP.

2023: Dr. Natchimuthuk Gopalswamy: For outstanding contributions to the scientific understanding of solar coronal mass ejections and their space weather consequences, as well as other areas of solar-terrestrial physics, and excellence in promoting international scientific collaboration.

2023: Dr. Eugene Rozanov: For outstanding scientific contributions to our understanding of solar-terrestrial interactions, via both direct and indirect mechanisms, including the role of energetic particle precipitation, ozone variability and solar irradiance variations.
