interdisciplinary profile in isotopic geochemistry, glaciology, climate

paleoclimate chapters of two IPCC reports: as Lead Author of IPCC AR4
and as Coordinating Lead Author of IPCC AR5. Her leadership roles in
major international Antarctic collaborations include the <a href="http://www.pages-igbp.org/ini/end-aff/ipics/intro" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.pages-igbp.org/ini/end-aff/ipics/intro" class="">IGBP-PAGES International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences (IPICS)</a> and with the <a href="http://www.cryosphericsciences.org/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.cryosphericsciences.org/" class="">International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS)</a>.

information: The Martha T. Muse Prize for Science and Policy in
Antarctica is a US$ 100,000 unrestricted award presented to an
individual in the fields of Antarctic science or policy that has
demonstrated potential for sustained and significant contributions that
will enhance the understanding and/or preservation of Antarctica. The
prize is funded by the Tinker Foundation, whose goal is to recognize
excellence in Antarctic research by honouring someone in the early to
mid-stages of his or her career. The Prize is inspired by Martha T.
Muse’s passion for Antarctica and is a legacy of the International Polar
Year.
