The White House named Susan Solomon, CIRES Fellow and leading atmospheric scientist, to receive the 1999 National Medal of Science, the nation's highest scientific honor, for her "insights in explaining the cause of the Antarctic ozone hole." Solomon carried out key work theorizing that chemical reactions involving manmade chlorine could be responsible for the remarkable Antarctic ozone depletion. She also served as the leader of the National Ozone Expeditions to the Antarctic in 1986 and 1987, where she conducted observations that provided the first direct evidence of this chemistry. Secretary of Commerce William M. Daley praised Solomon's achievements, saying "Solomon has been one of the most important and influential researchers in atmospheric science during the past 15 years. Her work to unravel the mysteries of the Antarctic ozone hole is an example of the important role played by government scientists in figuring out the answers to the larger picture of global change."
