[Report of Honor][Aerospace] Academia Sinica's Academician Kuo-Nan Liou Receives Medal for Outstanding Space Science (Chinese Version)

Academia Sinica Newsletter (2010/04/16) Academia Sinica's Academician Kuo-Nan LIOU was recently awarded the 2010 Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) William Nordberg Medal in recognition of his “outstanding contributions to the application of space science”. Academician LIOU will receive the award during the inaugural ceremony of the 38th COSPAR Scientific Assembly on July 19, 2010. The assembly will be held from July 18 to July 25, 2010 in Bremen, Germany.

COSPAR is a non-profit organization established by the International Council for Science (ICSU) in 1958 to promote international collaboration and information exchange in space research. It executes its missions through the organization and sponsorship of meetings and the publication of scientific papers and information.

The COSPAR William Nordberg Medal commemorates the work of the late William Nordberg, a world-renowned space scientist and former Director of Applications at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. It is awarded once every two years to a scientist who has made a distinguished contribution to the application of space science in a field covered by COSPAR.

Academician Kuo-Nan LIOU is currently Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Sciences and Director of the Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering at the University of California, Los Angles (UCLA). In addition to the COSPAR award, Academician LIOU has received numerous awards and accolades during his forty years of research. Among them are an Award Certificate for contributions to the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former US Vice President Al Gore in 2007, the Distinguished Achievement Award of the Chinese American Engineers and Scientists Association of Southern California (2004) and the Jule G. Charney Award of the American Meteorological Society (1998). He is Fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and the American Association of the Advancement of Science. He was elected an Academician of Academia Sinica in 2004.
