R.A.F. Penrose Gold Medal to Steve Scott

Congratulations to Emeritus Professor Steve Scott, the 2016 recipient of the Penrose medal. The R.A.F. Penrose Gold Medal was established in 1923 to be awarded primarily in recognition of a full career in the performance of “unusually original work in the earth sciences,” which shall be broadly interpreted to encompass major contributions to (a) the science through research, (b) the profession through teaching, program administration, and development of exploration technology, and (c) the development of mineral resources through mine geology, exploration, and discovery.
