Summary of Award

The honorary title of IAGC Fellow is bestowed annually to no more than two scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of geochemistry. Geochemists practicing in all facets of the subject are eligible for this award, but particular emphasis should be on the applied geochemistry. Due consideration to a fair and equitable geographic distribution is given by the Committee in the selection of IAGC Fellows. This award consists of a certificate, and the recipients shall be cited on the Association website and in the IAGC Newsletter. An award recipient also will receive a complementary 1-year membership to IAGC for the year following receipt of the award, if not already an IAGC member. The recipients of the Vernadsky Medal automatically become Fellows.
