New medal
The Society seeks nominations for the inaugural award of the new Dewey Medal, which will be made at this year’s AGM.
We invite nominations for the medal to be awarded to a geologist who has made substantial and significant contributions to geology through sustained field mapping and/or field observation of rocks, and who has a strong record of training, leading and encouraging others to practise and pursue advances in geology by this means.
A form is available at www.geolsoc.org.uk/awards. Nominations must be received no later than 31 March. The Society is most grateful to Professor John Dewey for making this award possible through his generous donation. Steph Jones
