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.
