Nominations for the 2019 Geochemistry Fellows are now closed. Nominations for the 2020 awards will open this summer.
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 2018 Geochemistry Fellows:
| Jess Adkins, California Institute of Technology (USA), for pioneering the field of deep-sea coral paleoceanography as well as for major contributions to our understanding of the controls on ocean salinity on glacial-interglacial timescales, the controls on precipitation and dissolution of biogenic carbonates, and the effect of sulfide weathering on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. | ||
| Michael A. Arthur, Pennsylvania State University (USA), for his work on light element stable isotopes; major, minor, and trace elements; paleoceanography; and paleoclimatology. | ||
| Miryam Bar-Matthews, Geological Survey of Israel, for demonstrating that isotopes in speleothems provide a record of temperature and rainfall in the continental realm complementary to the marine and polar records of ancient climates. | ||
| Robert J. Bodnar, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (USA), for work on fluid and melt inclusion studies, ranging from synthesis of inclusions and the study of their PVT properties to geologic applications documenting the roles of fluids and melts in the Earth and meteorites. | ||
| Daniel Frost, University of Bayreuth (Germany), for contributions toward understanding the redox-state and volatile budgets of planetary interiors, and in deciphering how these affect planetary evolution and physical properties of different parts of rocky planets. In trying to address these problems, he has made many innovative developments in high-pressure experimental techniques. | ||
| Jérôme Gaillardet, Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (France), for his groundbreaking work in deriving global, averaged element cycles from the chemical and isotopic signatures in the Earth's largest rivers, for pioneering methods towards using the boron isotope paleo-seawater pH proxy, and for his engagement in establishing a worldwide set of "Critical Zone" observatories. | ||
| Sigurður Reynir Gíslason, University of Iceland, for major contributions to carbon capture and storage systems and our understanding of volcanic hazards. | ||
| George R. Helz, University of Maryland (USA), for his contributions to the geochemistry of metals, metalloids, chlorine and bromine in natural waters, and the development of analytical methods used in geochemical studies, as well as his high-impact work on molybdenum speciation and uptake in sulfidic sediments. | ||
| Janet G. Hering, Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, ETH Zurich, EPFL (Switzerland) for making pioneering contributions to fundamental aspects of aquatic chemistry, to the public health problem of arsenic contamination of drinking water, and to the interfacing of science and policy for sustainable management of water resources. | ||
| Catherine Jeandel, LEGOS, Toulouse (France) for her novel "boundary exchange" hypothesis, in which she identified a previously unknown process that may, in fact, serve as the principal source of many dissolved chemical species in the ocean. Once controversial, studies over the past decade have supported her transformative idea, moving the hypothesis along a steady trajectory from highly controversial to its now established position in marine geochemistry. | ||
| Craig Manning, University of California, Los Angeles (USA) for being one of the leading scientists to push our quantitative understanding of aqueous fluid to higher pressures and temperatures than previously possible, and with that, drive new discoveries about what fluids in the lower crust and subduction zone can do. | ||
| William S. Reeburgh, University of California, Irvine (USA), for his seminal contributions to the fields of biogeochemistry and global elemental cycling. His work has focused on methane cycling in ocean sediments and waters in particular, and he was the first to discover and describe the anaerobic oxidation of methane. | ||
| Niels Revsbech, Aarhus University (Denmark), for his great contribution to biogeochemistry through the development and application of microsensors for oxygen, sulfide, pH and other constituents. His accomplishments have been critical for our understanding of how microscale microbial and geochemical processes are linked to early diagenesis and element cycling. | ||
| Zachary Sharp, University of New Mexico (USA), for his creative, innovative and broad application of stable isotope techniques across the geophysical and biological sciences. | ||
| Susan Trumbore, Max Planck Institute (Germany) and University of California, Irvine (USA) for discovering the characteristic timescales of terrestrial carbon cycling, pioneering the use of radiocarbon in earth and environmental sciences, and contributing new understanding of the impacts of landscape processes, land use, and climate on the global carbon cycle. | ||
|
Fu-Yuan Wu, Chinese Academy of Sciences, for his work using geochemistry to solve fundamental geological problems; in particular the use of isotopes to characterize the age and petrogenesis of a variety of rocks, but especially granitoids, and to then use this information to understand crustal evolution. |
