WOLLASTON MEDAL—Norman Sleep

for his lifelong contribution to our understanding of physical processes of the Earth and planets.

MURCHISON MEDAL—Mike Searle

for his pre-eminent work on the structural geology of major mountain ranges.

LYELL MEDAL—Alan Smith

for his pioneering work on the application of computing technology in Earth sciences.

WILLIAM SMITH MEDAL—Martin Sinha

for the development and application of controlled source electromagnetic sounding (CSEM) for fluid location in subsurface environments.

COKE MEDALS

Jim Rose for his work on Quaternary geology and contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the British landscape.

Nigel Woodcock for his stratigraphic and structural work that has helped elucidate the relationship between major synsedimentary structures and tectonic ones, principally in the Lower Palaeozoic.

BIGSBY MEDAL—Chris Ballentine

for using noble gas isotopes to investigate the evolution of the mantle, crust and atmosphere, as well as the origins, migrations and mass balance of fluids in sedimentary basins.

ABERCONWAY MEDAL—Richard Davies

for pioneering the use of oil industry data in understanding a wide range of geological phenomena and processes.

R. H. WORTH PRIZE—Ian West

for his extensive series of web pages covering the geology of the Jurassic Dorset Coast: Geology of the Wessex Coast of Southern England.

WOLLASTON FUND—Sanjeev Gupta

for his work on the relationships between sedimentary accumulations and contemporaneous tectonic movement.

MURCHISON FUND—Arwen Deuss

for her work on inner-core shear waves, and comprehensive studies of mantle discontinuities.

LYELL FUND—Kathy Willis

for work on the relationship between long-term ecosystem dynamics and environmental change, using long-term experimental records.

WILLIAM SMITH FUND—Tim Lenton

for his work on charting the Earth System's complex feedbacks involving lithosphere, biosphere, oceans and atmosphere.

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARDS

Neil Ellis for his work producing the GCR volumes that assess and document Earth science Sites of Special Scientific Interest, representing Britain's geological heritage.

Peter Wigley for adopting and adapting leading-edge computing technology to digitize, organize, manipulate and otherwise present existing geological, geophysical and geographical data so as to increase their accessibility and usefulness.

PRESIDENT'S AWARDS

Luke Skinner for work on millennial scale variability in climate, using marine records.

Steven Smith for work on the origin and evolution of low-angle normal faults.

Madeleine Humphreys for work on the processes that affect magma during its ascent through the crust.

JOURNAL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY YOUNG AUTHOR OF THE YEAR 2007

Carl Stevenson for his paper ‘Laccolithic, as opposed to cauldron subsidence, emplacement of the Eastern Mourne pluton, N. Ireland: evidence from anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility’, pp. 99–110 (with W. H. Owens, D. H. W. Hutton, D. N. Hood & D. N. Meighan)
