The Price Medal is awarded for single investigations or a series of closely-linked investigations of outstanding merit into the formation and composition of the Earth and/or planets (e.g. seismology, tectonics, geodesy, geomagnetism, solar system dynamics, meteoritics and include emerging areas). This award is open to researchers from early career positions onwards.
The Annual General Meeting 1992 approved the introduction of the Price Medal. It is to honour Professor Albert Thomas Price and was first awarded in 1994.
To nominate for the Price Medal
Nominations should be submitted by 31 July for the following year's awards and should include:
- The online nomination form below
- A full CV
- A short list of key refereed publications (preferably with citation data. Ideally, this publication list should be extracted from the Web of Science)
- Your nomination (minimum length 300 words, maximum length 600 words). This should address how the nominee fulfils the criteria of the Award, in particular the single investigation for which the nominee is being proposed should be clearly highlighted. Successful nominations argue a strong case for why the nominee deserves the award over and above one of their peers working in the same area. It is helpful if the nomination is phrased in such a way that extracts from it can be used in the formal recommendation of the Committee. The nomination should also include the nominee's present career stage, the nominee's present post, and other awards and honours.
- Additionally, please give details of two referees who will be contacted by email and asked to send supporting statements.
