EWING, Rodney C. –Department of Geological Sciences, University of Michigan
Rod Ewing is universally recognized as the world's leading scientist on the geochemistry of uranium and the role of uranium in all aspects of nuclear power, from nuclear-reactor processes to safe storage of radiogenic waste. With his intellectual capabilities and scientific expertise, he has made major and fundamental scientific advances in Earth and Environmental Sciences. He has tirelessly pursued geological solutions to the problem of nuclear-waste disposal, almost single-handedly impressing the Materials Science community and Government Agencies with the importance of this approach. This is the most creative and sustained scientific initiative in this area since its inception.
