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 encompass sustained and proven 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 of long-term scientific significance;
- 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 societies will accept nominations for the 2025 Fellows until October 31, 2024.
The Geochemical Society and European Association of Geochemistry are pleased to announce the 2024 Geochemistry Fellows
Dereje Ayalew
Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia
Dereje Ayalew has made notable contributions to the study of magmatism in the East African Rift and Flood Basalt systems of Ethiopia. His insights and collaborations have helped usher in a new era in understanding of magmatic processes in this critical region.
Jochen Brocks
Australian National University, Australia
Jochen Brocks is recognized for his research on the molecular evidence in sedimentary records that attest to the timing of the evolution of eukaryotic organisms on Earth. His work has had a profound impact on understanding of the progression of life on Earth, redefining the principles that serve as validation of molecular evidence for ancient organisms.
Peter Cawood
Monash University, Australia
Peter Cawood has made major contributions in developing new ways in which geochemistry informs and shapes tectonic models. He has revolutionized our thinking about the nature of the geological record, and how best to evaluate the formation and breakup of supercontinents from a record that is biased and incomplete.
Kent Condie
New Mexico Institute of Mining and Techonology, USA
Kent Condie is a world authority on the Precambrian Earth, which he explores using the geochemistry of igneous and sedimentary rocks and the U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions of zircon. He synthesizes geochemical and geological data and marries these with dynamic modeling to gain insights into Earth's evolving dynamic processes.
Evelyn Füri
CRPG CNRS Université de Lorraine, France
Evelyn Füri has accumulated during the last years an impressive record of very original results on the origin of volatile elements (mainly N, H and noble gases) in lunar rocks, Martian samples, cometary materials from the Stardust mission, differentiated meteorites and asteroid returned samples. These results were made possible by the combination of laser assisted noble gas mass spectrometry and high mass-resolution secondary ion mass spectrometry to resolve the distribution of the isotopes of H, N and rare gases at microscale in these extra-terrestrial samples.
Tetsuo Irifune
Ehime University, Japan
Tetsuo Irifune has made fundamental and lasting contributions in geochemistry and mineralogy of the deep Earth, and materials science based on material synthesis, determination of phase relations, and density and sound velocity measurements using innovative instruments including multianvil press, in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and ultrasonic interferometry.
Fabrizio Nestola
University of Padova, Italy
Fabrizio Nestola uses the crystal structure of minerals to understand the dynamics and geochemical evolution of the solid Earth. He is recognized for his scholarly output, training of students, international collaborations, departmental leadership, and impact on the entire field of crystallography and geochemistry.
Christine Putnis
University of Münster, Germany
Christine Putnis is an influential scientist who was one of the pioneers in discovering the process of coupled dissolution and precipitation at mineral-water interfaces, a concept that was misinterpreted by many geochemists for decades. She has also been especially active in raising research funding for entire communities of scientists, advising researchers, and generally serving the geoscience community.
Mark Rehkämper
Imperial College London, UK
Mark Rehkämper is recognized for his advances in metal stable isotope geochemistry conducted within the areas of cosmochemistry, marine geochemistry, environmental geochemistry, health sciences, and nanoparticle dispersion.
Urs Schaltegger
University of Geneva, Switzerland
Urs Schaltegger is the global leader in ID-TIMS U-Pb zircon geochronology. He has made seminal contributions on the timing and tempo of magmatism in the crust, answering fundamental questions such as the timescales required for both pluton assembly using zircon petrochronology and the formation of LIPs. He also has led community initiatives to continuously refine U-Pb zircon geochronology, held significant editorial and administrative roles, while all the time generously supporting others.
Fang-Zhen Teng
University of Washington, USA
Fang-Zhen Teng is recognized for an exceptionally strong record of high impact science in the development of novel methods and applications of non-traditional, stable isotope studies.
Satoshi Utsunomiya
Kyushu University, Japan
Satoshi Utsunomiya's major contribution to geochemistry is his creative application of advanced techniques, especially electron microscopy and spectroscopy, to the understanding of the environmental mobility of radionuclides, and other elements/particles of concern. His research provides the foundation for estimates of health effects and the development of mitigation/decommissioning strategies.
Jeffrey Vervoort
Washington State University, USA
Jeffrey Vervoort is recognized for advancing the use of Hf isotope geochemistry and geochronology in our understanding of the Earth and the Solar System, particularly the evolution of the continental crust and the mantle.
Paul Wallace
University of Oregon, USA
Paul Wallace is a world leader in the field of understanding volatile behavior in magmas. Throughout his career spanning three decades he has consistently produced outstanding contributions, many recognized as enduring classics. He has mentored a generation of early career researchers who have benefited enormously from his wisdom and knowledge.
Helen Williams
University of Cambridge, UK
Helen Williams has discovered that iron isotopes become fractionated during mantle melting and redox processes. This was an unexpected result and she has successfully applied this and other heavy stable isotope systems to understand processes including the origin of the Earth's core and melting beneath mid-ocean ridges, ocean islands and subduction zones. In addition, Helen has served on the EAG Council, on several committees for the EAG and the Geochemical Society, she co-chaired the 2019 Barcelona Goldschmidt conference and she is an editor for Geochemical Perspectives Letters.
Youxue Zhang
University of Michigan, USA
Youxue Zhang is recognized for his inspiring work that has tremendously contributed to our understanding of the concept and theory for multi-species diffusion, hydrous species reaction kinetics with applications to geospeedometry, and water and other volatiles in the Moon.
