Dudley Raynal Receives Adirondack Achievement Award

摘要

The Adirondack Research Consortium presented the 2009 Adirondack Achievement Award to pioneering acid rain researcher Dr. Dudley J. Raynal of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse. In 1978, Raynal initiated the acid rain monitoring station at the Huntington Wildlife Forest in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains. In continuous operation ever since, it is one of the oldest monitoring stations in the United States. Information gathered from this and other stations throughout the country provided the scientific basis to identify the causes of the acid rain problem. Through the years, Raynal has been involved in many research projects to determine the impacts of acid rain on Adirondack lakes, plants, and forests.
