LYNNE
TALLEY (2003)
Dr.
Lynne Talley, the twenty-sixth recipient of the A.G Huntsman Award, is
honoured for her outstanding contributions to the understanding of the
circulation and ventilation of the global ocean. Throughout her career,
she has illuminated the overturning circulation of the oceans through her
assembly and synthesis of large datasets.
In
addition, she has published significant analytical studies of oceanic
processes such as barotropic instabilities, ventilated thermocline theory
and mixing and convection. She has led oceanographic expeditions in all of
the major ocean basins other than the Arctic and has chaired national and
international scientific steering committees for major ocean climate
programs such as the World Ocean Circulation Experiment. She has received
the 2001 Rosentiel Award and a 1987 U.S. National Science Foundation Young
Investigator Award, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences.
