GISS Best Publication Award
Each spring, scientists at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies vote on the "best" publication during the previous calendar year by a member or members of the institute. We consider this peer award to be the highest scientific honor that we bestow. Since 1993, the winners have been:
