Twelve soil scientists elected to be the Inaugural SSSC Fellows

To promote the development of soil sciences in China, and to recognize members of the SSSC who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in soil science-related fields and made important contributions to the development of the society, the SSSC established the SSSC Fellowship. According to the fellowship statute and election method, the SSSC decided to award 12 scientists, including Academician Qiguo Zhao, as inaugural Fellows (see the list below).

 

Fellowship is the highest academic title in the field of soil sciences that is bestowed by the SSSC. It is a lifetime honor. Members who are over 80-years-old are automatically recognized as senior members. Soil scientists who are non-Chinese nationals can be awarded the title of ‘Foreign Fellow’.
