Congratulations 2013 GEOC Medal Winner Dr. George W. Luther III
Dr. George W. Luther III has earned the 2013 GEOC Medal Award for outstanding accomplishment in Geochemistry
Dr. George W. Luther III
Professor of Oceanography, University of Delaware
The 2013 Geochemistry Division Medal was awarded to Dr. George W. Luther III, Professor of Oceanography, University of Delaware, for his wide-ranging fundamental contributions to aqueous geochemistry. These contributions include application of physical inorganic chemistry to understanding electron transfer in natural waters; development of chemical sensors and the application of voltammetry to quantifying trace element speciation in natural waters; and elucidation of chemical and microbial processes in metal and sulfur cycling. After the presentation of the award, Dr. Luther’s contributions were celebrated with a series of invited lectures highlighting critical issues in aqueous biogeochemistry.
The ACS Geochemistry Division Medal was awarded at a special Geochemistry Division awards symposium, which was held at the ACS National Meeting in New Orleans, LA: 7-11 April 2013.
