James Lauer Green is an American space physicist born in Burlington, Iowa. After receiving a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Iowa, Green began his professional career working in the Magnetospheric Physics Branch at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). He developed and managed the Space Physics Analysis Network (SPAN) that provided international scientists with rapid access to data and colleagues.〔Introduction to the Space Physics Analysis Network (SPAN), NASA-TM-86499, 1985,〕〔Green, J. L., The Space Physics Analysis Network, Computer Physics Communications, v.49, April 1988〕 He also served as the safety diver in the Neutral Buoyancy Tank making over 150 dives before he left MFSC in 1985. From 1985 to 1992, Green was the Director of the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). In 1992, he became the Chief of the Space Science Data Operations Office until 2005, when he became the Chief of the Science Proposal Support Office. Green also served as the co-investigator and Deputy Project Scientist on the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) mission.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Official SwRI IMAGE Mission Web Site )〕 In August 2006, Green was appointed the Director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA's Science Mission Directorate.〔https://science.nasa.gov/about-us/organization-and-leadership/division-bios/dr-jim-green/〕 Along with Deputy Director of Planetary Science W. James Adams, he is responsible for Solar System exploration at NASA including astrobiology research.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Solar System Exploration )〕 Under his leadership, a number of recent planetary science mission events have been successfully completed, including the MESSENGER orbit insertion at Mercury, the launch of Juno to Jupiter, the launch of GRAIL A and B to the Moon and subsequent orbit insertion, Dawn's encounter with Vesta, and the landing of the Mars Science Laboratory and Curiosity rover on Mars. He has published over 100 scientific papers on the magnetosphere of Earth and Jupiter. He has also contributed over 50 technical articles on various aspects of data systems and networks.〔http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/docs/JLG%20Resume%20Apr%202010%20for%20web%20rev.pdf〕 Green's knowledge of aeronautics and his study of the American Civil War come together in his personal interest in Civil War ballooning. During the war, balloons played an important role in map-making, artillery-spotting, and the observation and reporting of troop movement. Green, a Civil War Trust member, has studied this subject for over 30 years and is a Civil War ballooning authority. He has written about Civil War ballooning〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil War Ballooning During the Seven Days Campaign )〕 and has spoken at a number of events including the 150th anniversary of the first tether balloon ascension〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ballooning in the Civil War )〕 and the Lincoln Group of District of Columbia's February 2012 meeting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=February 2012 Event )〕 He served as an advisor on the ''Intrepid'' project, an initiative to construct and fly the world's first replica of a Civil War manned balloon, and presented a talk for its official first lift-off at the Genesee Country Village & Museum celebration in Mumford, New York on July 4, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Genesee Country Village's Civil War Balloon - The Intrepid )〕 Green was featured in the October 2011 issue of the ''Iowa Alumni Magazine''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iowa Alumni Magazine - Oct 2011 )〕 and appears in the PBS NOVA special ''Finding Life Beyond Earth''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NOVA - Finding Life Beyond Earth )〕 He writes the online column ''New Worlds, New Discoveries''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Solar System Exploration: News & Events: Columnist: Dr. James Green )〕 During the Solar System @ 50 Symposium 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NASA - NASA History Program Office Hosts Solar System Exploration @ 50 Symposium )〕 in October 2012, Dr. Green was the lunch keynote speaker giving an overview of planetary science exploration during the last fifty years.〔http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/26423449〕 During the IAA Planetary Defense Conference in April 2013, Dr. Green gave a special video presentation 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Solar System Exploration: Multimedia: Video: Dr. Jim Green Discusses NEOs )〕 about Near Earth Objects, the importance of monitoring these objects, and their threat to our planet. In celebration of the first anniversary of the Mars Curiosity Rover landing on Mars in August 2013, Green explained the rover's accomplishments and future mission plans to Uma Pemmaraju on the Fox New program, 21st Century and Beyond.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mars Rover: A success story one year later )〕 ==Awards== Throughout his career Green has received numerous awards including the Arthur S. Flemming Award in 1988.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arthur S. Flemming Awards - Trachtenberg School of Public Policy & Public Administration - The George Washington University )〕 In 1996 he received Kotani Prize from Japan in recognition for his international efforts in science data management. As executive producer of the video "Blackout! Solar Storms and Their Effects on Planet Earth," Green and team won two Crystal Communicator Awards in 1999 in the Education and Animation/Special Effects category and two Telly Awards in 2000 in the Education and Animation categories. "Blackout!" is part of the "Event Based Science" series developed by NASA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blackout Video )〕 In June 2012, the American Astronomical Society presented him with the distinguished 2012 Popular Writing Award for his contribution to the article "The Perfect Solar Superstorm" in the February 2011 issue of ''Sky & Telescope''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James L.
