Elsevier/JQSRT Poynting Award on Radiative Transfer |
|
|
|
The Poynting Award is established in honor of John Henry Poynting, whose fundamental work on the direction and magnitude of electromagnetic energy flow eventually became the foundation of the radiative transport theory. The Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer is considered as one of the leading journals where the teachings of Poynting are extensively applied in virtually all subject areas as listed in the Aims and Scope of the Journal.
The Poynting Award honors the life-time contributions and achievements of a scientist who has made a landmark impact on the radiative transfer research and its applications. This Elsevier Award will be administered by the Editors and Publisher of the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer. Starting in 2012, the Poynting Award will be presented in every two years and will consist of a glass statuette and an official Elsevier certificate. The Award recipient is expected to have published in JQSRT, although this requirement may be waived in exceptional cases.
