She was able to reveal the provenance of sediments in the South China Sea and in the North Atlantic. She showed, from the analysis of the bulk magnetic properties of deep sea cores, that fast climatic changes are related to coeval changes in the deep-sea circulation.

After completion of her thesis she became senior scientist at the Geological Institute of ETH, where she was instrumental in establishing the stable-isotope laboratory, which at that time was one of the very first isotope labs in European Earth Science departments.

Harrison’s measurement techniques have been widely disseminated, with 34 papers in the well-established American Institute of Physics’ journal Review of Scientific Instruments alone. His highly useful graduate-level textbook on “Meteorological Measurements and Instrumentation”, describing the physical principles and technological ingenuity of various measurements, provides an essential account of the history of atmospheric measurements in the context of modern climate science and of the future of observational meteorology in terms of emerging sensors and technologies.

Furthermore, 5 papers are in press and 7 are submitted, leading to a total of 46 papers among which he is first author of 18. Those papers are published in the best journals. For instance, 3 of his 2004 papers are published or are in press in Climate Dynamics, 2 in Journal of Climate, 2 in Geophysical Research letters, 2 in Journal of Geophysical Research, and 1 in Paleoceanography.

Pulkkinen performed her scientific studies in a highly collaborative way at several renowned research institutions in the United States and in Finland. The range of her scientific achievements can best be judged from a total of ~240 publications in international refereed journals and from the still rising citation rate, approaching 5000, leading to an h-index of 37.

He also explored the domain of risk assessment, investigating the impacts of landslides and floods in terms of losses. He was positioned on the list of the best scientists (0.27th percentile) in all scientific disciplines for 2018.

She showed that turbulent flows can sustain dynamos and found the saturation mechanism. In particular, she pioneered studies of the role of helicity in geophysical and astrophysical flows. She predicted the existence of an inverse cascade of magnetic helicity in conducting fluids and formulated the concept of ‘selective decay’, meaning that the magnetic helicity decays slower than energy.

Of similar significance are his investigations of transient forms of reconnection in form of flux-transfer events, of the nature and structure of magnetopause and boundary layers in dependence of the orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field, and the understanding of the thermalization process in supercritical quasi-perpendicular collisionless shocks.
