Jerry Mitrovica to Receive the 2015 GSA Day Medal

Please join us in congratulating Jerry Mitrovica who will be awarded the Geological Society of America's 2015 Day Medal. Quoting from the GSA website; "The Arthur L. Day Medal was established in 1948 through a donation by Arthur L. Day, Founding Director of the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. It is awarded annually, or less frequently at the discretion of the Council, to recognize outstanding distinction in the application of physics and chemistry to the solution of geologic problems, with no restriction to the particular field of geologic research. It was Dr. Day's wish to provide an award to recognize outstanding achievement in research and to inspire further effort, rather than to reward a distinguished career, and so it has been the longstanding practice of The Society to award this medal to geoscientists actively pursuing a research career."

Past EPS recipients of this distinguished honor include Jim Thompson and Rick O'connell.  Great work Jerry!
