. Dr.
Paul Falkowski, the twenty-first
recipient of the A.G.Huntsman Award, has
made outstanding contributions to the
field of biological oceanography which
span an impressive spectrum of topics,
ranging from basic principles of the
biophysics of photosynthesis, to algal
physiology, to coupling of physical and
biological processes in the coastal zone,
and most recently, to a detailed analysis
of the co-evolution of marine organisms
and planetary chemical cycles. The
breadth of his contributions is even more
impressive considering he has made
fundamental advances in all of these
areas and that he is recognized as an
expert in fields ranging from molecular
biology to global biogeochemical cycles.
He takes a scholarly approach to his work
which has resulted in clearly evident
excellence in his many contributions at
the cutting edge of marine science.
