About the Geochemistry Fellow Honor
In 1996, the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry established the honorary title of Geochemistry Fellow, to be bestowed upon outstanding scientists who have, over some years, made a major contribution to the field of geochemistry. Recipients of the Goldschmidt, Patterson, EAG Science Innovation, Treibs, and Urey Awards become Fellows automatically.
Scientific excellence is a core value of both the Geochemical Society and European Association of Geochemistry, and it is our privilege, by rewarding it, to take a leading role in its definition. In awarding Geochemistry Fellows, our societies believe it is important to recognize the broad spectrum of scientific achievements that advance geochemistry. Excellence should not be limited to major discoveries and ideas that change paradigms, and not solely evaluated on the basis of the number of papers published in high-impact journals; the nominee's h-index and previously obtained distinctions; nor the amount of funding acquired. Instead, we recognize that scientific eminence, achievement and impact also includes contributions that create a dynamic environment essential for scientific progress. Examples of these include: improvements to infrastructure and techniques; capacity building, especially in developing countries or emerging disciplines; curation of sample collections and databases; exceptional editorial contributions; communication of the intrinsic excitement of our field to the general public; work with policy makers to ensure that their decisions are grounded in rigorous science; training the next generation of geochemists; and advancing ethics, inclusiveness, and social justice in science. By recognizing the full diversity of the geochemical community and its many varied contributions we hope to provide a wide range of examples that young scientists can strive to emulate.

The Geochemical Society and European Association of Geochemistry are pleased to announce the 2019 Geochemistry Fellows
Nicolas Dauphas
University of Chicago
Nicolas Dauphas, University of Chicago (USA), for his contributions to our understanding of the diversity of nucleosynthetically distinct components present in the early solar system, their role in the assembly of the Earth, and the time scales and mechanisms of planetary scale differentiation, and for his leadership in developing the technologies and methods that underly the application of isotope geo- and cosmochemistry.
Sylvie Derenne
CNRS and Sorbonne Université
Sylvie Derenne, CNRS and Sorbonne Université (France), for her research on the selective preservation of algal cell walls to form kerogen and the hypothesis that carbonaceous chondrite organic matter derives from solar gases and dust.
Melinda Darby Dyar
Mount Holyoke College
Melinda Darby Dyar, Mount Holyoke College (USA), For her exceptional contributions to research in mineralogy, igneous and metamorphic petrology, her success in developing pioneering analysis techniques, and the extraordinary impact her work has had on both the terrestrial and planetary mineralogy, as well as for being an extraordinary mentor to young scientists in many terrestrial and planetary disciplines.
Jean Jouzel
Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et l'Environnement
Jean Jouzel, Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et l'Environnement (France), for his pioneering role in using water isotopologues for reconstructing past climate changes from polar ice cores with associated atmospheric modeling using both dynamically simple and General Circulation Models, a research which has been key to understanding of the complex relationship between Earth' climate and natural forcings including that by greenhouse gases measured in ice cores.
Cin-Ty A. Lee
Rice University
Cin-Ty A. Lee, Rice University (USA), for his diverse, creative and prolific work, his provocative ideas that have inspired debate and action, and his fundamental contributions to the understanding of our planet's continents.
Shuguang Li
China University of Geosciences
Shuguang Li, China University of Geosciences (China), for establishing a P-T path for the exhumation from very high-pressures of a continental block buried during continent-continent collision, as well as for succeeding for the first time to attach a time scale showing that this exhumation process was very rapid.
Jack Middelburg
University of Utrecht
Jack Middelburg, University of Utrecht (Netherlands), for his innovative, seminal contributions to understanding elemental cycling at the Earth's surface, including the decomposition kinetics and preservation of sedimentary organic carbon, benthic food web dynamics and carbon flow, and global models of diagenetic processes, nutrient regeneration, and ecosystem functioning.
Eric Oelkers
GET Laboratory, CNRS and University College London
Eric Oelkers, GET Laboratory, CNRS (France) and University College London (UK), for his major contributions in the predictive description of mineral dissolution/precipitation rates in natural systems which have served as the basis for predicting the behavior of radioactive waste and carbon storage in the subsurface, as well as chemical weathering at the Earth's surface, and for contributions to geochemistry reaching far beyond his scientific production.
Daniela Rubatto
University of Bern
Daniela Rubatto, University of Bern (Switzerland), for revolutionizing the use and application of accessory minerals particularly in metamorphic rocks through coordinated microscale analysis for chronology, trace element geochemistry, and stable isotope compositions, which are then calibrated experimentally to provide insight to physicochemical conditions during formation.
Yuji Sano
University of Tokyo
Yuji Sano, University of Tokyo (Japan), for research accomplishments filled with creativity, exploring aspects of cosmochemistry and geochemistry that were off the beaten path, in fields ranging from the evolution of the atmosphere and deep cycling of carbon and nitrogen to dating dinosaur teeth or recording Milankovitch cycles in giant clams. This should be taken as the demonstration that creativity has no boundaries in science.
Barbara Sherwood Lollar
University of Toronto
Barbara Sherwood Lollar, University of Toronto (Canada), for pioneering environmental geochemistry methods based on compound specific isotope analysis to detect and monitor the biodegradation of organic pollutants in water. These methods have reshaped the assessment of contaminated sites world-wide and have provided a molecular-level technique to improve the sustainability of water resources.
William Shotyk
University of Alberta
William Shotyk, University of Alberta (Canada), for his virtuous integration of advanced and novel analytical techniques with unique field methods in unusual areas leading to outstanding contributions in our understanding of the cycling of trace metals (and metalloids) between the hydrosphere, pedosphere and atmosphere; an endeavor that requires considerable imagination.
Mordechai Stein
Geological Survey of Israel and Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Mordechai Stein, Geological Survey of Israel and Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel), for being an idea generator on overdrive, with a great enthusiasm for geology and a great scientific intuition, for being an inspiration to early career scientists, and for making important scientific contributions to many fields ranging from Middle East paleoclimate to mantle geochemistry.
