The 2010 Terris and Katrina Moore Prize has been awarded to faculty member Anupma Prakash. The prize, set up by former UA President Terris Moore, is presented to a deserving Geophysical Institute researcher in recognition of the quality of his or her contributions to their field of science. Prakash, a professor in the GI Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing group, was nominated by her colleagues, and received the prize because of her leadership in the emerging field of coal-fire research. Prakash is the first woman to be awarded the Moore Prize.

Also, this past week, Prakash was honored at the UAF Faculty and Staff Authors’ Celebration for her co-editorship of Coal and Peat Fires: A Global Perspective. The Mather Library will be purchasing the ebook version, which will include multimedia resources.
