Chris Hawkesworth, Professor Emeritus at the University of Bristol (UK) will receive the 2025 Victor M. Goldschmidt Award this July. The Goldschmidt Award is the society's highest honor, presented annually for major achievements in geochemistry over a career. Prof. Hawkesworth is recognized for exceptional scientific contributions, made through the application of advanced geochemical proxies, that have guided our understanding of the crust and lithosphere and their interactions with the convecting mantle. His work has helped transform geochemistry by emphasising its applicability to understanding the processes operating over the entirety of Earth's existence.
