Nature has selected Jane Lubchenco as its 2010 Newsmaker of the Year.

In picking one person for this distinction, we aim to draw attention to the role that individual scientists can play in society.

As head of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Jane Lubchenco played a central role in determining how the nation responded after the Deepwater Horizon rig started gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time, she has been revamping the way America uses the tools of science to safeguard the environment, particularly its marine resources.

In a profile, Richard Monastersky explores Jane Lubchenco's accomplishments and the challenges she faced during one of the biggest environmental disasters in U.S. history.

Access the profile and editorial online.
