2020 DeSouza Award

Mike Zuranski, College of DuPage

The Russell L. DeSouza Award honors “individuals whose energy, expertise, and active involvement enable the Unidata Program to better serve the geosciences.”

Mike's persistent efforts to engage Unidata's data production and user communities, and to improve data dissemination processes as an active beta-tester of the Local Data Manager software, have provided a tremendous benefit to the community's efforts to share and use geoscience data. His ongoing involvement in maintaining and improving the College of DuPage NexLab site, which has become a reliable resource for thousands of daily users, is appreciated across Unidata’s educational, commercial, and governmental community. 

A video recording of the award presentation and Mike's seminar is linked below and is available on the NSF Unidata YouTube Channel.
