Dominique Jault 2013 Petrus Peregrinus Medal The 2013 Petrus Peregrinus Medal is awarded to Dominique Jault for outstanding research in geomagnetism and the dynamics of the Earth’s core. His seminal work linking changes in the length of day to core flows consistent with the geomagnetic secular variation helped establish a new understanding of core processes. His subsequent research has added greatly to our understanding of the Earth’s deep interior. Read more
Mark Zoback 2013 Louis Néel Medal The 2013 Louis Néel Medal is awarded to Mark Zoback for his outstanding and seminal contributions to rock physics and geomechanics, in particular for applying geomechanics to solve a wide range of problems of scientific, engineering and economic importance.
