| Citation | Professor Oliver Phillips is distinguished for discovering remarkable large-scale change in the most diverse and productive of Earth's ecosystems, revealing how, where, and why tropical forests are changing. By implementing a pioneering approach to measure the biome from the ground-up he has shown that global change processes shape even remote ecosystems and has transformed scientific understanding of these forests. His work resolves major uncertainties in Earth system science by demonstrating how, in turn, tropical forests impact the global carbon balance. Together, his discoveries and approach to tropical ecology have changed the field into a planet-wide endeavour with global participation. |
