in the following categories:
• Publication of the results of geologic research;
• Applied research;
• Training of geologists;
• Administration of geological programs;
• Public awareness of geology;
• Professional organizations;
• Editorial, bibliographic, and library responsibilities; and
• Other.
Hailiang Dong (Miami University): Dr. Dong is a prolific scien-
tist who has published over 200 papers in the discipline of geobi-
ology, has trained many graduate students in this field, and has
served as a program director at NSF. His significant contributions
are truly interdisciplinary, overarching, and at a global scale.
—Yildirim Dilek
Michael J. Dorais (Brigham Young University): Dr. Dorais has
applied novel petrologic and isotopic techniques for over 35 years
to help better understand the magmatic and tectonic evolution of
continents through his studies in the northern Appalachian
Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, and other continental areas, while
also providing high-quality mentoring to large numbers of geol-
ogy students. —Bart J. Kowallis
Peter T. Doran (Louisiana State University): For his seminal
work in polar geolimnology and paleoclimatology, and his lead-
ership in the application of polar science to help constrain pro-
cesses on other icy planets in our solar system. —W. Berry Lyons
André Willy Droxler (Rice University): For understanding
neritic carbonate systems across Earth and especially for convey-
ing this information to students, colleagues, and the general public. seismology, showing the extent of modern earthquake and tsu-
—Gerald Dickens
Amy E. East (U.S. Geological Survey): For insightful research
contributions that have extended fundamental understanding of
landscape responses to changes in sediment supply in modern
and ancient sedimentary systems. —Jon Major
Martha Cary Eppes (University of North Carolina at Charlotte):
Martha Cary “Missy” Eppes (Ph.D. 2002) joined University of
North Carolina’s faculty in 2003, and was promoted to full pro-
fessor in 2017. Her specialty is geomorphology, focusing on
weathering and soils. She has 27 refereed publications, many co-
authored with students. —Roger Hooke
Josh Feinberg (University of Minnesota): Josh Feinberg is nomi-
nated for his groundbreaking studies in mineral and rock magne-
tism that have resulted in innovative approaches to an array of
scientific problems, from ancient geomagnetic field behavior to
past records of climate and environmental change to the physical
and crystallographic phenomena of magnetic stability.
—John Geissman
18 GSA Today | July 2018
Joan E. Fryxell (California State Univ. San Bernardino): Elected
to Fellowship as a new GSA Councilor.
Zvi Garfunkel (Hebrew University of Jerusalem): Elected to
Fellowship as a 2017 GSA Honorary Fellow.
Allen C. Gellis (U.S. Geological Survey): Dr. Allen Gellis is one
of the world’s leaders in understanding, measuring, and modeling
sediment erosion and transport, particularly for addressing
applied problems. —Jim O’Connor
David Paul Gillikin (Union College): David Gillikin has had a
significant impact on the field of geology as a researcher, teacher,
and member of the GSA community. His research focuses on
proxy indicators of environmental change preserved in molluscs.
David has served our community through his involvement in
GSA committees and as a journal editor. —Donald Rodbell
Joseph A. Gillman (Missouri Geological Survey): As the state
geologist of Missouri and the director of the Missouri Geological
Survey, and as president of the Association of American State
Geologists, Joe Gillman has demonstrated strong, creative, and
visible leadership in the geosciences, positioning both organiza-
tions for growth and success. —Rex Buchanan
Michelle F. Goman (Sonoma State University): For outstanding
contributions in scholarship, teaching, and service to the fields of
paleoecology and geoarchaeology and the energetic, innovative
leadership in the limnogeology and paleoclimate research com-
munities. —Gail Ashley
Cecilia Maria Gonzalez-McHugh (Queens College): Cecilia
Maria Gonzales-McHugh is a passionate marine geoscientist and
educator. Her work has been foundational in the field of paleo-
nami deposits (homogenities) on the ocean floor and their com-
mon occurrence in the sediment record. —Suzanne O’Connell
John A. Grant III (Smithsonian Institution Center for Earth and
Planetary Studies): Elected to Fellowship as the 2017 Planetary
Geology Division’s G.K. Gilbert awardee.
Mary Beth Gray (Bucknell University): Professor Mary Beth
Gray is an outstanding educator, scientist, and mentor as evi-
denced by her publication record in structural geology, praise for
her teaching and for academic and undergraduate research advis-
ing, and her administrative work that has contributed to making
and keeping the department and university strong. —Carl Kirby
“… extraordinary commitment to communicating the
results of geological research to the general public …”
