18.01.2022 A.B. Edwards Medal for Volume 65 has been awarded by the Specialist Group in Economic Geology to David Gray for the paper ‘Hydrogeochemical exploration for volc...anic-hosted massive sulfide deposits in semi-arid Australia.’ https://doi.org/10.1080/08120099.2018.1423110 From Chris Yeats (co-author): ‘Congratulations to David Gray and his co-authors for their paper Hydrogeochemical exploration for volcanic-hosted massive sulfide deposits in semi-arid Australia, which was awarded the A B Edwards Medal for the best paper related to Economic Geology published in 2018 in the Australian Journal of Earth Sciences at the 2021 AESC. David passed away in November 2019 following a battle with brain cancer. During his 30-year career with CSIRO, David was widely recognised as a global leader in exploration hydrogeochemistry. Through his work, he established hydrogeochemistry as an exploration tool that holds the key to successful mineral exploration in covered terrains and that is now widely accepted and implemented by Australian geological surveys and mineral explorers. The recognition of this paper is testament to the impact and importance of David’s work.’ Congratulations to all contributors for this paper: D.J. Gray, C.J. Yeats, R.R.P. Noble & N. Reid (2018). #AJES #ABEdwards #GeologicalSocietyofAustralia

11.01.2022 AJES Volume 66, F.L. Stillwell Award: Kim Jessop Congratulations Kim for your paper titled ‘Tectonic cycles of the New England Orogen, eastern Australia: A revi...ew.’ AJES, 66, 459496. https://doi.org/10.1080/08120099.2018.1548378 Kim graduated with a BSc from The University of Newcastle and worked for 15 years as an exploration geologist before following careers as a computer analyst and environmental manager. In 2006, she returned to geology with a renewed passion and completed a Master of Geoscience and then a PhD from Macquarie University with Dr Nathan Daczko and Dr Sandra Piazolo. Her PhD focussed on the role of fluids in high-temperaturelow-pressure metamorphism with a case study based in the New England Orogen. Kim continues to work at Macquarie on related research and is passionate about leaving a legacy of broadly appealing and useful papers. In this context, receipt of the Stillwell Award is greatly appreciated and an impetus to continue publishing her research. #FLStillwell #AJES #GeologicalSocietyofAustralia

01.01.2022 David I Groves 66 medal Congratulations Nishka Piechocka for AJES Volume 66, 973990 D.I. Groves Award for your paper SHRIMP UPb phosphate dating shows metamor...phism was synchronous with magmatism during the Paleoproterozoic Capricorn Orogeny. Australian Journal of Earth Sciences, 66, 973990. https://doi.org/10.1080/08120099.2019.1587644 Nishka is a geologist with a strong background in 3D geological modelling methodologies, structural geology, geochronology (U-Pb and 40Ar/39Ar), metamorphic geology and Fe Ore mineralisation systems. Nishka is currently working as a Senior Research Scientist (Fe Ore Lead) in the Discovery Program in CSIRO Mineral Resources. Nishka has significant industry experience previously working for BHP and Rio Tinto Iron Ore in exploration. Nishka is now working on a building a 3D geological model of the Hamersley Basin, Pilbara, Western Australia using the innovative map2loop implicit modelling software. She is also, part of the wider research project investigating the landscape evolution and weathering history of the Pilbara and relationship to genesis and mineralisation of Martite-Goethite Ores in the Hamersley Province, Western Australia. Niska is a co-author on a recent publication on implicit 3D modelling: GMDD - Automated geological map deconstruction for 3D model construction (copernicus.org) Niska’s current research project: Orebody knowledge, landscape history and mineralisation of Martite Goethite Ores in the Hamersley Province (WA) | Minerals Research Institute of WA (mriwa.wa.gov.au) Congratulations Nishka! #AJES #GeologicalSocietyofAustralia #DavidIGroves
