Guenter Loeser Memorial Award


The Guenter Loeser Memorial Award was first established in 1955 at the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory. It was named after Dr. Loeser, a meteorologist who lost his life while conducting a field experiment. Over time, AFCRL became the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory at Hanscom Air Force Base and has now become the Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicles Directorate Battlespace Environment Laboratory, AFRL/RVB, at Kirtland Air Force Base.
The award is presented annually by the Air Force Research Laboratory for an outstanding research contribution. Recipients present a lecture on a topic of scientific interest.
