Geography Professor Shares in $1 Million Global Prize

Geography professor and climatologist Ellen Mosley-Thompson, along with Ohio State glaciologist Lonnie Thompson and British geologist Geoffrey Eglinton, are among this year's winners of the prestigious $1 million Dan David Prize, for their breakthrough work in climate change. The Dan David Prize is administered through Tel Aviv University.

"A recognition of this magnitude actually honors the long-term efforts by our entire team of researchers and students at Ohio State. We've all devoted decades to deciphering the clues recovered from ice cores retrieved across the globe," said Mosley-Thompson.
