Awarded to: Kai-Uwe Hinrichs Abstract: Recent Advances in the Biogeochemistry of Microbial Lipids (C.C. Patterson Award Lecture)
Medal lecture in:
Session 15h in Salle Maillot on Friday 18th August 13:30 - 14:15
Citation: Kai-Uwe Hinrichs, professor of organic geochemistry in the Department of Geosciences/MARUM, University of Bremen, will receive the 2017 Clair C. Patterson Award this summer. The Patterson Award recognizes an innovative breakthrough of fundamental significance in environmental geochemistry, particularly in service of society, consisting of either a single outstanding contribution or a short series of papers published within the last decade. Prof. Dr. Hinrichs is recognized for his work on the interactions between microbial life and the carbon cycle on a range of spatial, temporal and molecular scales.
