Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not meet the required three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO concurred that the petitioner met the criteria for authorship of scholarly articles and judging the work of others, it found she did not establish that her original scientific contributions were of major significance. The evidence, including citation counts for her software and research, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate a widespread or remarkable impact on the field of oceanography.
