Abstract
Ty Coplen, a long time member of IUPAC and in particular of the Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights, has been presented with one of the 2023 Presidential Rank Awards (PRA) chosen by President Joe Biden. The PRAs are one of the most prestigious awards in the career civil service, recognizing the important contributions of public servants across the US federal government.
Ty Coplen
On December 7, 2023, USGS hosted a live, virtual Honor Awards Ceremony. David Applegate, the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey presented the awards with the following citation:
Tyler Coplen’s wide-ranging research uses isotope measurements to study water resources, environmental quality, paleoclimatic research, and forensic science, resulting in more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and one patent. In 1978, he started the Reston Stable Isotope Laboratory of which he is now the director within the Water Resources Mission Area’s Laboratory and Analytical Services Division. From 2009 to 2013, he served as lead for the USGS and Department of the Interior on the National Science and Technology Council’s Subcommittee on Forensic Science, advising the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and other bodies of the Executive Office of the President on forensic science in homeland and national security and in the criminal justice system.
