Stephan Mueller Medal

Last updated

The Stephan Mueller Medal is an annual award in geophysics established in 1997 by the Tectonics and Structural Geology (TS) Division of the European Geophysical Society (EGS). Since the merger of the EGS into the European Geosciences Union (EGU) in 2002, the medal has been awarded by the EGU since 2005. The medal, for outstanding achievements in tectonics and geophysics of the lithosphere, [1] is awarded in honour of Stephan Mueller. [2] The medal has been awarded during the annual EGU General Assembly each year since 2005 (except for the year 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). The prize recipient is selected by a committee from the EGU's Section on Solid Earth Geophysics. [3] [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Don L. Anderson</span> American geophysicist

Don Lynn Anderson was an American geophysicist who made significant contributions to the understanding of the origin, evolution, structure, and composition of Earth and other planets. An expert in numerous scientific disciplines, Anderson's work combined seismology, solid state physics, geochemistry and petrology to explain how the Earth works. Anderson was best known for his contributions to the understanding of the Earth's deep interior, and more recently, for the plate theory hypothesis that hotspots are the product of plate tectonics rather than narrow plumes emanating from the deep Earth. Anderson was Professor (Emeritus) of Geophysics in the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). He received numerous awards from geophysical, geological and astronomical societies. In 1998 he was awarded the Crafoord Prize by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences along with Adam Dziewonski. Later that year, Anderson received the National Medal of Science. He held honorary doctorates from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Paris (Sorbonne), and served on numerous university advisory committees, including those at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, University of Chicago, Stanford, University of Paris, Purdue University, and Rice University. Anderson's wide-ranging research resulted in hundreds of published papers in the fields of planetary science, seismology, mineral physics, petrology, geochemistry, tectonics and the philosophy of science.
