Former HAO Senior Scientist Tim Brown has received a prestigious award from the National Academy of Sciences for landmark research that he conducted while at NCAR in the 1990s and early 2000s.
The James Craig Watson Medal is presented every two years for outstanding contributions to the science of astronomy. It recognizes Brown for pioneering instrument developments and observations, and for formulating a method to make extremely sensitive images of the Sun, which became key to the field of helioseismology.
