2017 GSA Fellows
John A. Diemer (University of North Carolina at Charlotte):
A sedimentary geologist who has studied and published on
alluvial channel deposits, John A. Diemer has also contributed
to knowledge of the history of the earth sciences, having written
major works on Roderick Murchison, served as editor of Earth
Sciences History, and chaired the History and Philosophy
Division of GSA. — Sandra Herbert
Mark A. Evans (Central Connecticut State University): Mark
Evans is a leading authority on the nature and evolution of
paleofluids in foreland fold-thrust belts and the interrelationships
between fluid flow, diagenesis, paleomagnetism, and both brittle
and ductile deformation. He has also excelled in the training of
young geologists through classroom experiences and involvement
in geological research. — Charles M. Onasch
Russell C. Evarts (U.S. Geological Survey): Russ Evarts has
published 27 geologic maps, most of them 7.5′ quadrangle maps in
Washington and Oregon, as well as numerous interpretive offshoot
journal articles and reports. His rigorous geologic mapping has
been foundational for our evolving understanding of the tectonics
and volcanism of the Pacific Northwest. —Thomas C. Pierson
Ralph Owen Ewers (Eastern Kentucky University): Ralph Ew-
ers is nominated for his lifelong leadership in applied research in geology. — Norman P. Lasca Jr.
groundwater flow in karst terrains, innovative techniques, teach-
ing geologists, and serving academia and society in a remarkable
way. — Gareth James Davies
Jack D. Farmer (Arizona State University): Jack Farmer
is nominated in recognition of his rich and seminal research
in biogeosciences and astrobiology, his many contributions
to planetary exploration, and his work in enhancing public
awareness of geology. — Steven Christian Semken
Joan L. Florsheim (University of California Santa Barbara):
Dr. Florsheim has more than 25 years of experience as an expert
in natural and anthropogenic effects on watershed. She is a
strong advocate for student research, brings science to the public
through many venues, and serves on several editorial boards.
— Nancy Riggs
Martha Scott Gilmore (Wesleyan University): Marty has
published widely and influentially in planetary geology. She
is an outstanding mentor, training undergraduate and graduate
students, publishing with them, and launching them toward
successful careers. And she is a leader and valued colleague,
attested to by numerous advisory board appointments with the
National Research Council and NASA. — Ronádh Cox
“She is an outstanding educator
and researcher with boundless enthusiasm
for all things geological.”
18 GSA Today | July 2017
Bosiljka Glumac (Smith College): Professor Bosiljka Glumac
is an outstanding educator and researcher with boundless enthu-
siasm for all things geological, particularly carbonates. She is a
leader in the sedimentology community and is dedicated to broad
advancement of the geosciences. — H. Allen Curran
Steven L. Goodbred (Vanderbilt University): For outstanding
research and leadership to understand complex sedimentary
geology of delta systems and their special place in human-natural
system interactions. — George M. Hornberger
Michael N. Gooseff (University of Colorado): Michael N.
Gooseff is cited for pioneering critical new areas of hydrogeology
in the field of groundwater–surface water interactions and water-
shed–river water connectivity at all latitudes, and particularly
in Polar regions, making important new advancements possible in
the fields of geochemical weathering and aquatic ecology.
— Judson William Harvey
Timothy J. Grundl (University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee):
Dr. Grundl, a chemical hydrogeologist, is a recognized authority
on the chemical dynamics of natural water systems, with empha-
sis on contaminant degradation, and has a distinguished record
as a teacher of undergraduate and graduate students in hydro-
Stephen E. Haggerty (Florida International University): Stephen
Haggerty has made seminal research contributions to a range
of geoscience disciplines including basaltic volcanism, oxide
mineralogy, mantle petrology, meteorite petrogenesis, lunar
mineralogy and petrology, and most recently, kimberlite, and
diamond petrogenesis. Together they represent a remarkable
body of work from one of the most innovative and productive
scientists. — Michael L. Williams
Ralph Haugerud (U.S. Geological Survey): Ralph Haugerud’s
publications have expanded our knowledge of Mesozoic-
Paleogene tectonics, active tectonics, and Quaternary ice-sheet
glaciation in the Pacific Northwest. He is a leader in the use of
LiDAR topography for geologic research and has helped the
geologic community standardize the encoding of geologic maps
in a GIS. — Darrel Cowan
Shaul Hurwitz (U.S. Geological Survey): Shaul is recognized
for his novel research on heat and fluid transport in hydrothermal
systems and for his role in linking hydrothermal fluid flow to
deformation and other forms of unrest at volcanic arcs and large
calderas where public safety is at risk. — William C. Evans
Manuel A. Iturralde-Vinent (Sociedad Cubana de Geología):
Manuel A. Iturralde-Vinent was the president of the Cuban Geo-
logical Society 2008–2016. Manuel is very active in geohazard
research and prevention about Central America, Dominican
Republic, Mexico, and Cuba. He has more than 250 publications
and has participated in dozens of documentary films about Cuban
nature. — Robert J. Stern
