Jane Lubchenco shares the Zayed International Prize for Scientific and Technological Advancements in the Environment. Dr. Lubchenco, 8th Environment Heinz Awards, was cited for her years of researching the fundamental ecological and evolutionary relationships among animals and plants in the coastal systems. A professor at Oregon State University, her studies have led to a general understanding of factors affecting the abundance and biodiversity of coastal species.

The prize was awarded in June in a ceremony attended by international dignitaries in Dubai. It was established in honor of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, president of the United Arab Emirates and governor of Abu Dhabi. The multiple winners share $1 million.
