Suzanne K. Birner, Associate Professor of Geology/Earth Science at Berea College (USA) will receive the 2025 F. W. Clarke Award this July. The Clarke Award honors a single outstanding contribution to geochemistry or cosmochemistry by an early-career scientist. Prof. Birner is recognized for her series of papers that decipher and document the processes occurring in the Earth's mantle that have generated variations of several orders of magnitude in oxygen fugacity, with broad implications for the history of Earth's interior and atmosphere.
