Wolf Vladimir Vishniac (April 22, 1922 – December 10, 1973) was an American microbiologist, son of famed photographer
Roman Vishniac. Educated at Brooklyn College and Stanford University, he was a professor of biology at the University of Rochester. He died on a research trip to the Antarctic attempting to retrieve equipment in a crevice. The crater Vishniac on Mars is named in his honor.[1]


Wolf Vishniac contributed greatly to the search for life on Mars by developing a special miniature laboratory that could be transported to that planet, known as the "Wolf Trap". This research was supported by a NASA grant started in 1959, the very first ever for the "biological sciences."[citation needed]

Wolf Vishniac Memorial Award


A Wolf Vishniac Memorial Award for Young Researchers is awarded at the biennially held International Symposium On Environmental Biogeochemistry (ISEB).[2] The award is presented to researchers no older than 35 years who must be a first author and give a presentation at the symposium.[3] A notable recipient is Sergey Zimov, who received the award at the ISEB-10 in 1991.[4] Other recipients include M. Francesca Cotrufo at the ISEB-12 (1995),[5] Alexis S. Templeton at the ISEB-14 (1999),[6] Kamlesh Jangid at the ISEB-14 (1999),[7] Salwa Hamdi at the ISEB-19 (2009),[8] and Jillian M.
