SEG Silver Medal

The SEG Silver Medal was established in 1980 and may be awarded annually, but no less frequently than once every three years, for "excellence in original work in the geology of mineral deposits," which shall be broadly interpreted to encompass outstanding contributions to (a) the geology of mineral deposits, (b) the application of the science to minerals exploration, discovery, and/or mine development, and (c) the development of exploration technology.

The award will be considered primarily in recognition of excellence by or during the awardee's mid-career. SEG defines mid-career as not less than 10 years nor more than 30 years from the candidate's terminal professional degree, excluding any documented leaves of absence (e.g. parental leave, national service, caregiving, personal health or any other types of personal leaves of absence). A nominee for this medal need not be a member of the Society. Visit the Medals and Awards page for nominating instructions.
