Astrobiologist Wins Murchison Medal
May 20, 2011 / Posted by: Daniella Scalice
The Geological Society of London is the recognised UK professional body for geoscientists, and awards several medals each year to honor significant contributions to the geological sciences. Please join us in congratulating Bruce Watson of NAI’s RPI team who is the 2011 recipient of the Society’s Murchison Medal. The Society’s Awards for 2011 will be presented on 8 June 2011.
The Murchison Medal is given to an individual each year who has made a significant contribution to the science by means of a substantial body of research. The Society regards this medal very highly and it is not normally awarded on the basis of a few good papers. Workers in both ‘pure’ and ‘applied’ aspects of the geological sciences are eligible. The Murchison Medal is normally given for contributions to ‘hard’ rock studies.
