Announcing our 2025 Awards and Funds recipients
We are thrilled to announce the very well deserved recipients of our 2025 Society Awards, Fund and Medals.
Each winner has been awarded based on their significant achievements and contribution to the geoscience community. The formal presentation of awards will be celebrated on President's Day, 11 June 2025, at Burlington House in London.

The Society's most esteemed medal, the Wollaston Medal, first awarded in 1831 to William Smith, celebrates geoscientists whose research has had significant influence "by means of a substantial body of excellent research in either or both 'pure' and 'applied' aspects of the science" advancing our understanding of the Earth.
This year, it is awarded to Professor Barbara Sherwood Lollar, University Professor in Earth Sciences, University of Toronto. Renowned for her research of ancient waters and deep subsurface biosphere, she is a most worthy recipient, with over 200 published peer-reviewed papers.
