We are pleased to announce that Douglas Gough, a pioneer in the field of helioseismology, has been selected to write the Solar Physics Memoir for 2016. Prof. Gough’s memoir will appear in Solar Physics early next year. The memoir series has three main goals: i) to honor colleagues for distinguished careers; ii) to provide long-term personal perspectives on solar science; and iii) to help educate younger members of the community.

The selection committee is chaired by Ed Cliver and includes Paul Cally, Mingde Ding, Lyndsay Fletcher, Jim Klimchuk, Cristina Mandrini, Kazunari Shibata, Sami Solanki, and Astrid Veronig. Please contact any of them with suggestions for next year’s honoree.
