Evgeni Fedorovich, meteorology professor, and Tracy Reinke, financial associate for the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies, were selected for the 2008 Dean's Awards during the University Of Oklahoma College Of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences' Faculty and Staff Awards Reception Tuesday.
?Fedorovich received the Dean's Award for Excellence in Research and Scholarship, which recognizes a faculty member for accomplishments in research or scholarship. Fedorovich is one of the world's leading authorities in boundary-layer meteorology -- the study of the physical processes that take place in the lowest atmospheric layer, which is most influenced by the earth's surface. This is especially important because it provides a basis for agricultural and forest meteorology, air pollution modeling, and coastal and urban meteorology.
"This came as an unexpected honor from my colleagues, and is greatly appreciated," Fedorovich said upon receiving the award.
Reinke received the Dean's Award for Outstanding Service, which recognizes an accomplishment in service that goes well beyond that of expected duties.
She was cited specifically for her work preparing for the First U.S.-China Symposium on Meteorology hosted by CIMMS.
Reinke successfully served as a liaison between several groups within OU and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"I am honored to receive the college's Outstanding Service Award," Reinke said. "I enjoy my work immensely and am flattered that others recognize my achievements."
Both awards consist of a $500 prize, a certificate and recognition on a plaque in the Dean's Office in the National Weather Center.
