The winner of the Peccei Award is Austrian born Stefan Schreier.
Stefan is currently a PhD student at the Institute of Environmental Physics (IUP) at the University of Bremen, Germany. His main fields of scientific interest include the use of satellite measurements in tropospheric chemistry studies and the improvement of gas retrieval from satellites with the main focus on biomass burning regions. During his three month stay in IIASA's Ecosystems Services and Management (ESM) Program, Stefan completed a study entitled "Estimates of Forest Fire NOx emissions in Russia between 1998 and 2010". The Committee and external reviewers enjoyed reading the paper and were impressed by Stefan’s “extensive uncertainty treatment” and his rather novel approach in methodology.
