In 2015, an anonymous donor made a major gift to the Geochemical Society to launch a new endowed lecture to highlight innovative research in biogeochemistry. This prestigious lecture series, presented annually at the Goldschmidt Conference, recognizes a prominent scientist who is making cutting-edge field-based measurements or laboratory measurements on field samples in the area of biogeochemistry.
Nominations are now open for the 2019 Endowed Biogeochemistry Lecture, to be delivered at Goldschmidt2019 in Barcelona, Spain. The lecturer will receive a complimentary registration and travel stipend.
Nomination requirements:
- Nominee's CV (up to 4 pages)
- List of publications
- List of recent presentations and link to webpage, if available
- A recommendation letter from the nominator
Nominations deadline: October 31, 2018
