2018 GSA Fellows
with his mentorship of future geoscientists makes his nomination
to Fellowship an easy and overdue task. —Ervan Garrison
Adrian Lenardic (Rice University): For contributions to our
understanding of the geodynamic evolution of Earth and other
planets and how planetary interiors and surfaces interact.
—Cin-Ty Lee
Yu-Feng Lin (Illinois State Geological Survey): Yu-Feng Lin has
a 16-year career as a hydrogeologist with >100 publications,
including those on groundwater flow, geothermal exchange,
groundwater/surface water interactions, fiber-optics sensing,
groundwater recharge/discharge, and applied studies for water-
supply planning, natural resources management, and groundwa-
ter remediation. He also has provided considerable leadership in
several administrative positions. —Richard Berg
Laura Lukes (George Mason University): Elected to Fellowship
as the 2017 Biggs Award for Excellence in Earth Science
Teaching awardee.
Bruce J. MacFadden (University of Florida): Bruce MacFadden
ranks among today’s foremost paleobiologists. His prolific
research, published in hundreds of peer-reviewed articles and
books, has advanced the fields of vertebrate paleontology, mag-
netic stratigraphy, isotope geochemistry, paleoecology, and
paleoclimatology. Bruce was editor of several geological jour-
nals, president of two paleontological societies, and has mentored Alaska. —Cynthia Dusel-Bacon
many graduate students. —Douglas Jones
“… an outstanding educator, scientist, and mentor …”
Mary Ann Madej (U.S. Geological Survey Western Ecological
Research Center): In recognition of her significant published geo- tionally recognized for excellence in high-pressure rock mechan-
logic and applied research investigations of channel responses to
sedimentation, watershed restoration, and the role of carbon
dynamics in forest ecology—and for her extensive efforts in
training numerous geologists. —Joan Florsheim
Michael E. Mann (Pennsylvania State University): At
Pennsylvania State University, Dr. Mann has been Distinguished
Professor of Atmospheric Science since 2013 and director of its
Earth System Science Center since 2005. He is one of the top
climate scientists in the world, and is the leading spokesperson
for climate science in the United States. —P. Thompson Davis
Ellen Eckels Martin (University of Florida): Ellen has an
impressive combination of a distinguished research program in
addition to an assiduous dedication to mentoring and leadership
within her department, university, and international scientific
community. —Andrea Dutton
Thomas E. McKenna (Delaware Geological Survey): Tom is
recognized based on his applied research, his studies of Gulf of
20 GSA Today | July 2018
Mexico Basin thermal properties and basin evolution, the use of
thermal imagery to map submarine groundwater discharge, and
his communication of coastal water issues and sea-level rise risks
to the public. —John Sharp
Nadine McQuarrie (University of Pittsburgh): A structural geol-
ogist who has advanced our understanding of continental tecton-
ics, Nadine McQuarrie has generated bold map-view reconstruc-
tions and balanced cross sections that integrate structural,
thermochronologic, geophysical, and petrologic datasets across
major contractional and extensional systems, particularly in the
Andes, Himalayas, Zagros, North American Cordillera, and
Basin and Range province. —Brian Horton
Stephen R. Meyers (University of Wisconsin–Madison):
Professor Stephen Meyers is an internationally recognized leader
in the field of cyclostratigraphy, which he has helped to elevate
to an unprecedented level of scientific rigor and consequence.
He has also inspired new generations of geoscientists through
his outstanding classroom teaching and specialist workshops.
—Laurel Goodwin
Marti L. Miller (U.S. Geological Survey): For outstanding lead-
ership of the Alaska Science Center Geology Office and publica-
tions on the geology, mineral resources, metallogenesis, and tec-
tonic history of southwestern Alaska. Her publications have been
key to land-use planning and mineral exploration programs in
Francis C. Monastero: Dr. Monastero has had a great impact on
the geosciences through leadership and administration of geo-
thermal energy programs and organizations, and research into
geothermal systems. He headed the geothermal program of the
U.S. Navy, was president of the Geothermal Resource Council,
and has guided innovative methods of geothermal exploration.
—J. Douglas Walker
Diane E. Moore (U.S. Geological Survey): Dr. Moore is interna-
ics and innovative experimental studies of the physics and chem-
istry of active faults. Her meticulous measurements of fault-zone
materials provide fundamental observations of fluid-rock inter-
actions that result in fault healing, strength recovery, and perme-
ability reduction. —Patricia McCrory
Augusto Neri (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia):
Elected to Fellowship as a 2017 GSA Honorary Fellow.
Sterling J. Nesbitt (Virginia Tech): Elected to Fellowship as the
2017 Young Scientist Award (Donath Medal) awardee.
Eric (Rick) Alan Oches (Bentley University): Rick has demon-
strated a unique combination of disciplinary and administrative
leadership in the geosciences over the last two decades. His work
in earth-science education for non-majors is truly distinctive,
building transdisciplinary sustainability curricula and programs
that prepare business students for a more sustainable future.
—David Szymanski
