Storer Lectureship feat. Paul Falkoski, Rutgers Energy Institute | October 22, 2018

The Tracy and Ruth Storer Lectureship in the Life Sciences Presents "The Origin and Emergence of Global Coupled Biogeochemical Cycles"
About the series: The Tracy and Ruth Storer Lectureship in the Life Sciences was established in 1960, to invite distinguished biological scientists to campus to present lectures and meet with faculty members and graduate students in their field of interest. Past Storer Lectures have included Nobel laureates, members of the National Academy of Science and acclaimed authors in medicine and the life sciences.
Dr. Falkowski is considered one of the world’s pioneers in the field of biological oceanography. His research interests are focused on origins of life, how electron transfer reactions are mediated, and how organisms transformed the geochemistry of our planet. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences. He was awarded the A.G. Huntsman Award for Excellence in the Marine Sciences, the G. Evelyn Hutchison Award, the European Geosciences Union Vernadsky Medal, and the ECI Prize. Most recently in 2018, Dr. Falkowski shared the 2018 Tyler Prize, known as the Nobel Prize of the environment, with Dr. James J. McCarthy of Harvard University for their decades of leadership in understanding and communicating the impacts of climate change.
