The Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication
The Edward Stone Award for Outstanding Research Publication recognizes and encourages the publication of significant research results in science and in technology/engineering by JPL employees throughout their professional careers. This distinguished award consists of a certificate of recognition and an Explorer Bonus Award of $10,000. Generally, four (4) awards are presented each year, nominally two in science and two in technology/engineering.
For conceiving the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) and providing the detailed framework to understand, interpret and assess its results.
For elucidating causal mechanisms of sea-level change in the Arctic's Beaufort Sea with innovative advancements in ocean state estimation.
For demonstrating timing resolution below 3 picoseconds in single photon counting using superconducting nanowire single photon detectors.
For an innovative gravity science method leading to constrain the depth of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot to 500 kilometers with Juno data.
The Lew Allen Award for Excellence
The Lew Allen Award for Excellence is designed to recognize and encourage significant individual accomplishments or leadership in scientific research or technological innovation by JPL employees during the early years of their professional careers. The award consists of $25,000 from the JPL Research and Technology Development Fund (R&TD) to be used at JPL to enhance the professional efforts of the awardee. In addition to R&TD funds, the awardees will receive a monetary award of $10,000 and a memento. Annually, up to four (4) individuals may receive awards.
For exceptional leadership and technological innovation in the emerging field of AI in support of autonomous exploration of extreme terrains.
For outstanding leadership and technological innovation advancing the field of low frequency antenna simulation and measurements.
For outstanding accomplishments in research and development of uncertainty quantification approaches for atmospheric retrievals.
For exceptional scientific leadership and research on the geology and geophysics of the terrestrial planets and of the Moon.
