His research fields are environmental input-output analysis, industrial ecology and sustainable consumption and production. Tommy develops and applies methods and models for integrated sustainability and scenario analysis. In 2009, he was the guest editor of a special issue of the journal Economic Systems Research on ‘Carbon Footprint and Input-Output Analysis’. Tommy is also an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Centre for Integrated Sustainability Analysis (ISA) in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney and Director at the Centre for Sustainability Accounting (CenSA) in York, UK. He has coordinated a number of research projects funded by European, UK and Australian Governments. Tommy holds a PhD in environmental and analytical chemistry from the University Of Ulm, Germany.

CITATION AWARDEES Research Field: Geosciences Professor Kurt Lambeck Australian National University Research School of Earth Sciences Canberra ACT 0200 Professor Kurt Lambeck’s research deals with the motions and deformations of the Earth, on time scales from hours to millions of years, with the objective of understanding the forces that shape the planet, including the interactions of the oceans, atmosphere and cryosphere with the solid part of the earth. He is the leading proponent of developing and integrating geodetic methods with other geoscience disciplines of geophysics, geology and environmental science and over a career of more than three decades he has played a central role in most of the significant advances in this field. His studies have led to improved understanding of the orbital movements of earth satellites, of the dynamics of the Earth system, and to predictive models of the planet’s behaviour. These contributions have crossed diverse sub-disciplines of geoscience but they all have the common goal of understanding the dynamics of the Earth system over a broad range of time and length scales. Kurt Lambeck is the immediate past president of the Australian Academy of Science and professor emeritus at the Australian National University. Currently he holds a Blaise Pascal Chair at the Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris. He is, amongst others, a member of the Royal Society, the French Academy of Science, and the US National Academy of Science. *Mr Andrew P. Roberts, Director Research School of Earth Sciences at the Australian National University will be accepting this award on behalf of Professor Kurt Lambeck. Research Field: Immunology Professor Fabienne Mackay Monash University Department of Immunology Alfred Medical Research & Education Precinct (AMREP) Level 2, Monash University Building Commercial Road, Melbourne VIC 3004 Professor Fabienne Mackay obtained her Ph D in 1994 at the Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg under the co-supervision of Dr Werner Lesslauer (Hoffmann La Roche, Basel Switzerland) and Prof. Diane Mathis (now at the Joslin Institute Boston USA). In 1994, Fabienne joined Biogen Idec Inc. in Boston where she dissected the role of a TNF-like ligand lymphotoxin-alpha/beta in autoimmunity and cancer. This work led to many patents and the development of two new treatments currently tested in the clinic. In 2000, Fabienne joined the Garvan Institute in Sydney as a Welcome Trust senior research fellow and was awarded a NHMRC program grant. Fabienne’s lab at the Garvan discovered the role of a new molecule named BAFF as a key B cell survival factor essential for the maturation of B-lymphocytes but also playing a role in autoimmunity, and became the leading group on BAFF research. In March 2006, Fabienne was appointed to Director of the Autoimmunity Research Unit and adjunct full professor at the Faculty of medicine of the University of New South Wales. Fabienne is a consultant for several biotech and pharmaceutical groups. In 2007, she joined the national director board of the Australian Society of Medical Research (ASMR). In 2008, she was the NSW representative for the NHMRC Association for Research Fellows (NARF). Fabienne is an associate editor for several scientific journals including the Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research and the European Journal of Immunology. In March 2009, Fabienne became the 5th Chair of the Department of Immunology, Monash University, AMREP campus. In July 2009, belimumab, a therapeutic antibody neutralising BAFF has met the primary endpoints in a phase III clinical trial with lupus patients and run by GSK and Human Genome Sciences. This clinical outcome validated a decade of Fabienne’s work on BAFF and autoimmunity. 14
