CMA-guest Tarmo Soomere chosen 'Person-of-the-Year' in his home country, Estonia [9 Dec. 2005]
Prof. Dr. Tarmo Soomere from CENS, Estonia, who is currently visiting CMA through the CENS-CMA program, is presented as the 2005 winner by the newspaper "Postimees" ("The Postman"). Former winners include sportsmen, mountain climbers, songwriters, and soldiers. And now a true scientist!
Specializing in surface wave research, he is cited for correctly predicting the extent and effects of a devastating storm with subsequent flooding in January 2005 after the failure of the national routine warning system to issue a realistic marine forecast. He warned the media and public about it, and not the least he was able to explain later on - in a language that could be understood by the public - what happened and why. See www.postimees.ee (Issue Dec. 8) for extensive coverage.
