J. TUZO WILSON MEDAL
The Executive of CGU solicits nominations for the J. Tuzo Wilson Medal.
The Union gives this award annually to recognize scientists who make
outstanding contributions to Canadian geophysics. Factors taken
into account in the selection process include excellence in scientific
or technical research, instrument development, industrial applications
and/or teaching. Nominations for the J Tuzo Wilsom Medal may be submitted at any time. If you would like to nominate a candidate please contact Dr. Hugh Geiger, CGU Awards Committee Chair, Talisman Energy, Calgary AB (e-mail: hgeiger@talisman-energy.com). At a minimum, the nomination should be supported by letters of recommendation from colleagues, a brief biographical sketch and a Curriculum Vitae of the nominee. Typical nominations in recent years have included a nomination letter summarizing the outstanding contributions of the nominee and at least half a dozen letters of recommendation from renowned Canadian and International colleagues. The citations of past Wilson medalists published in CGU Newsletter ELEMENTS are often a good indication of the content of a successful nomination letter (Garth van der Kamp, July 2009 issue; Ming-ko (Hok) Woo, July 2008; Herb Dragert, July 2007; Alan Jones, July 2006; Ted Evans, July 2005; Dick Peltier, Jan 2005; Garry Clarke, June 2003). Nominations should be submitted by March 31,
2010, for award given in June 2010, at the joint CMOS-CGU Congress. PAST WILSON MEDALISTS 1978 J. Tuzo Wilson |
