Peter A. Gilman, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, and a former director of its High Altitude Observatory, is the recipient of the 2006 George Ellery Hale Prize from the solar physics division of the American Astronomical Society. Gilman was selected “for his unique insights and substantial scientific achievements in understanding the dynamics of the solar convection zone and the mechanism of the Sun’s magnetic dynamo and for his leadership and support of solar physics research programs.” He receives the honor at the division’s meeting in Calgary this month.
