Honorary Doctorate for Prof. Sergej Zilitinkevich

Professor Sergej Zilitinkevich received an honorary doctorate of the University of Pretoria. The honorary doctorate gives recognition to Sergej Zilitinkevich pioneering contribution and leadership role in the field of atmospheric sciences. His work on the scientific breakthroughs achieved in, particularly, the theory of Geophysical Turbulence and Atmospheric Boundary Layers over the past decades have enriched and dramatically changed current understanding of the physics of the atmosphere and the climate system, which is of paramount importance in view of the concerns about global warming and climate change.
