Dorothy Hill Medal |
|||||
|
The Division may annually award a medal known as the Dorothy Hill Medal for Queensland Geology to a person distinguished for their contributions to the advance of geological knowledge in the State of Queensland. The award will not be confined to persons resident in Australia but the award is to be made in regard to contributions to geological sciences in Queensland. Such contributions shall be judged on the quality and volume of contributions made through publication of original research. The medal may not be shared and will not necessarily be awarded each year. Nominations for the award can be made to the Division at any time and in addition nominations will be solicited by the Awards convenor at least once a year. A written justification, which can be used as the basis for a citation, must accompany each nomination. Nominations will remain current for a period of five years. The Award Committee will consist of the Divisional committee and the awards convenor and will be decided at a regular committee meeting where minutes of the proceedings will be recorded. The recipient should be announced in advance of the medal presentation. The medal will be awarded at a divisional meeting by the Chair or a person nominated by the committee, who will also read a citation. The citation, professional background and photograph of the recipient will be published by the Division in both the Divisional newsletter and The Australian Geologist as soon as possible after the award. |
