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 Wilson Medal may be submitted at any time. If you would like to nominate a candidate please contact Dr. Cherie Westbrook, CGU Awards Committee Chair (e-mail: cherie.westbrook@usask.ca). 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 (Nigel Edwards, July 2010; 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 February 28,
2012, for award given in May 2012, at the Annual Scientific Meeting. PAST WILSON MEDALISTS 1978 J. Tuzo Wilson (University of Toronto) |
