Dear Colleague, The Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement is the premier award for recognizing outstanding contributions in the fields of environmental science, environmental protection, energy and environmental health. Since its inception we have honored fifty-nine individuals and four corporations with the Tyler Prize and through their work, the Tyler Laureates have focused worldwide attention on environmental problems by their discoveries and the solutions that have resulted from these discoveries. The award consists of a gold medallion and a US $200,000.00 cash prize. The 2008 Tyler Prize was awarded to Professor Harold A. Mooney, Stanford University and Professor James N. Galloway, University of Virginia for their contributions to earth system science through their research on local and global biogeochemical processes as modified by human impact, and alerting the international community to the environmental consequences of these modifications.
