CIRES Fellow Susan Solomon will be inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame on March 9, 2006. The award recognizes Solomon's discovery of the cause of the Antarctic ozone hole, her ongoing research on the ozone layer and climate change, and her role in advancing and fostering women's careers in science.
 CIRES Fellow Peter Molnar was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for 2005. Molnar was cited for his research on the geodynamics of mountain formation, the mechanics of continental deformation, and the relation of tectonics to climate.
CIRES Fellow Susan Solomon of the Chemical Sciences Division of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory has been awarded the United Nations Environment Programme/ World Meteorological Organization (UNEP/WMO) Vienna Convention Award for her contributions to protect the ozone layer.

 CIRES scientist A. R. Ravishankara with the NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory has received a 2004 Presidential Rank Award for Meritorious Senior Professionals. Ravishankara has distinguished himself by identifying and answering key scientific questions about atmospheric chemistry that underlie ozone layer depletion, climate change, and air quality at the Earth's surface. "Winners of this prestigious award are strong leaders, professionals, and scientists who achieve results and consistently demonstrate strength, integrity, industry, and a relentless commitment to excellence in public service," according to the Office of Personnel Management, the federal government's human resources agency.
Former CIRES scientist Daniel Cziczo received the Presidential Early Career Award (PECASE). The award, which according to a U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy press release is " the nation's highest honor for professionals at the outset of their independent research careers" and "honors the most promising researchers in the nation within their fields." Cziczo was recognized for his pioneering work in the composition of atmospheric aerosols.
 Six CIRES scientists were part of a team at NOAA's Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory that received a NASA Group Achievement Award for their accomplishments with the successful SAGE III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment. The CIRES scientists receiving the award were Bruce Daube, Geoffrey Dutton, Fred Moore, Jon David Nance, David Sherman, and Holger Vomel.

 CIRES' Fellow Carol Wessman was one of 14 University of Colorado at Boulder faculty awarded prestigious Faculty Fellowships for the 2006-07 academic year for research. The fellowships were created to acknowledge research excellence and allow faculty to devote a year to research projects as an alternative to sabbatical semesters.
CIRES scientist Leslie Hart of NOAA/CIRES Forecast Systems Laboratory was honored by NOAA Headquarters with a NOAA Administrator Award as part of a group for "extraordinary efforts, dedication, and teamwork to develop and issue integrated requirements for a NOAA high performance computer system."
CIRES Fellow Margaret Tolbert was named a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and received a grant for for her studies of clouds on early Earth. Tolbert was one of 186 artists, scholars, and scientists selected from over 3,000 applicants.
 Lesley Smith, a member of CIRES' Education Outreach, was recognized by the Boulder Valley School District on the Superintendent's Honor Roll for her work developing and implementing the 4th and 7th grade Sombrero Marsh Curriculum.
