Southern Research Station (SRS) Director Rob Doudrick and U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell recently honored recipients of the 2016 SRS Station Director's Awards, including Eastern Threat Center research hydrologist Ge Sun and biological scientist Michael Gavazzi. Sun, who has co-authored about 220 papers since his U.S. Forest Service career began in 1997, received the Distinguished Scientist Award "for sustained productivity and leadership in forest hydrology research including the development and application of hydrological models and 
tools for global natural resource management under a changing environment." Gavazzi, who has served as the Collateral Duty Safety Officer at the Center's Raleigh office for 15 years, received the Safety and Occupational Health Award "in recognition of continued excellence in cultivating a safe and healthful work environment where all employees feel enabled to openly discuss issues and expect timely resolution to their concerns." Doudrick and Tidwell presented the awards during a ceremony on April 18 in Lexington, KY.
