Dr Adele Morrison has won the 2022 Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year. The award recognises her research on the Earth's complex system of ocean circulation and its impact on rising sea levels and climate. Professor Si Ming Man has won the 2022 Frank Fenner Prize for Life Scientist of the Year for his world-leading work on immunology and infectious diseases, and especially how inflammation impacts disease and our health. Dr Morrison, a physical oceanographer, uses innovative methods to model Southern Ocean circulation. Her high-resolution modelling examines how the changing ocean impacts the rate Antarctic ice sheets are melting and their contribution to sea-level rise.
