Vuoden 2022 Marcus Wallenberg -palkinto myönnetään professori Ilkka Kilpeläiselle ja professori Herbert Sixtalle uudenlaisten ionisten liuottimien kehittämisestä ja soveltamisesta puubiomassan prosessoinnissa korkealaatuisiksi tekstiilikuiduiksi.
Tekstiilikuitujen kysyntä kasvaa tulevaisuudessa maapallon väestönkasvun vuoksi. Tekstiileissä tällä hetkellä pääasiallisesti käytettävä selluloo
Marcus Wallenbergpriset 2022 tilldelas professor Ilkka Kilpeläinen och professor Herbert Sixta för utveckling och användning av nya joniska vätskor för konvertering av pappersmassa till högpresterande textilfibrer.
Den framtida efterfrågan på textilfibrer ökar på grund av den globala befolkningsökningen. Produktionen av bomull, den cellulosafiber som främst används för textilier, förväntas inte
A digital prize ceremony for the Marcus Wallenberg Prize was accomplished yesterday. The three professors Joseph J Landsberg, Australia, Richard H Waring, USA, and Nicholas C Coops, Canada were awarded for a model, 3PG, with addition of advanced satellite imagery analysis. The result is a powerful tool for predicting forest growth and assessing the risks to the world's forests posed by climate ch
Igår genomfördes en digital prisutdelning av Marcus Wallenbergpriset. De tre professorerna Joseph J. Landsberg, Australien, Richard H. Waring, USA och Nicholas C. Coops, Kanada belönades med priset för en modell, 3PG, som kompletterats med avancerad satellitbildsanalys. Resultatet är ett kraftfullt verktyg för att förutsäga skogstillväxt och bedöma vilka risker som klimatförändringarna innebär för
Welcome to the Marcus Wallenberg Prize Digital Ceremony and Symposium where we will honor the 2020 Marcus Wallenberg Prize laureates Joseph J Landsberg, Richard H Waring and Nicholas C Coops.
Joseph J Landsberg, Richard H Waring and Nicholas C Coops receive the 2020 Marcus Wallenberg Prize for their groundbreaking work in developing forest growth models based on tree ecophysiology, and further
The Board of the Marcus Wallenberg Foundation and its Selection Committee invite individuals and institutions, globally, to nominate candidates for the Marcus Wallenberg Prize.
Mikael Hannus wants to spread the events over the whole year and identify new target groups in both society and academia. He has great respect for the traditions that have been established since the first Marcus Wallenberg Prize was awarded in 1981, but is at the same time open to changes that are able to unite science and the forest industry in completely new contexts.
Kaj Rosén has emphasized the importance of high scientific standards during his years as Executive Secretary for the Marcus Wallenberg Prize. “As long as the nominations were based on serious research, we had the courage to reward scientific breakthroughs that had not yet been applied. We were constantly raising the bar”, Kaj Rosén says.
Joseph J Landsberg, Richard H Waring and Nicholas C Coops, share the 2020 Marcus Wallenberg Prize for a model to predict forest growth in a changing climate. Satellite imagery offers the possibility to scale up the model to show how different environmental conditions affect the world's forests.
The 2020 Marcus Wallenberg Prize will be announced on 28 April at 22:00 CEST.
Better quality and higher productivity are the incentives for molecular genetics of forest trees. Ronald R. Sederoff is awarded the 2017 Marcus Wallenberg Prize for his breakthroughs in developing methods for gene discovery in conifer species and exploiting new breeding technologies for improved properties.
