Elsevier would like to congratulate all of this year's Nobel Laureates and, in particular, those we have the honor of working with in the creation and dissemination of ground-breaking research.
"for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change".
We are also proud to announce that many Elsevier Editors and Editorial Board members have played significant roles as authors and reviewers for the 2007 and three previous IPCC reports conducted since 1990. Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the IPCC, is an Editorial Board Member of Energy Policy and an Associate Editor for the Encylopedia of Energy.
This year's Nobel Prize for physics was awarded to Albert Fert (France, 1938) and Peter Grünberg (Germany, 1939)
"for the discovery of Giant Magnetoresistance".

This year's Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Mario R. Capecchi (USA, 1937), Sir Martin J. Evans (UK, 1941) and Oliver Smithies (USA, 1925)
