Nominator's project description
| Professor Jerome Nriagu is widely regarded as the foremost expert on the geochemistry of trace metals in the environment. As the leading authority on global metal pollution, he has had a profound influence on our understanding of the geochemical cycles of virtually all trace metals of environmental relevance. In Germany Professor Nriagu will investigate the use of thallium isotopes as novel tracers of global climate change. |
