Susan Solomon joins Royal Society of Chemistry Honorary Fellows
Professor Susan Solomon, the Lee and Geraldine Martin Professor of Environmental Studies, has been named a Royal Chemistry Society Honorary Fellow, one of the highest honors bestowed by the organization.
Solomon is widely recognized as one of the leaders in the field of atmospheric science, particularly for her insights in explaining the cause of the Antarctic ozone “hole.” Her scientific papers have provided not only key measurements but also theoretical understanding regarding ozone destruction, especially the role of surface chemistry. Her current research includes climate change and ozone depletion.
“Who could not be humbled by being named an Honorary Fellow of the RSC? I’m totally ‘over the moon’ as they say across the pond,” remarked Solomon on this achievement.
Honorary Fellows come from a wide range of backgrounds, career paths and countries. They include individuals whose distinguished research careers have made an extraordinary impact on scientific advancement, leaders of companies, or other major enterprises that have been of significant benefit to the application of chemical science.
The Royal Society of Chemistry is a renowned charitable organization whose Royal Charter was granted in 1980 for the general advancement of chemical science, developing its applications, and disseminating chemical knowledge. The organization serves as a catalyst for connecting chemical scientists with each other and society for advancing science in service of improving public health, environment, and daily life.
