The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation today announced the names of the 126 early-career researchers selected to receive 2026 Sloan Research Fellowships, among them, our very own Professor Madison Douglas.
"Douglas is a geomorphologist who studies how quickly permafrost environments in the Arctic are thawing as the climate warms, releasing greenhouse gases in the process. She seeks to understand how Earth’s surface has evolved from the first expansion of life onto the continents to the present, and to inform landscape management practices for a safe and sustainable future."
“The Sloan Research Fellows are among the most promising early-career researchers in the U.S. and Canada, already driving meaningful progress in their respective disciplines,” says Stacie Bloom, president and chief executive officer of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
