2. Medallists 2013: Back row, left to right: Robert Thomas (Coke Medal) for his unparalleled contribution to the geological mapping of Africa; Henry Frankel (Sue Tyler Friedman Medal) for his long-term and determined effort to understand the central scientific issues involved in the continental drift controversy; Christopher Jackson (Bigsby Medal) for his work applying 3D seismic reflection data to sedimentary basins, magma migration, mass wasting, faulting patterns, and the interplay between erosion and deposition; Martin Jackson (William Smith Medal) for fundamental research in salt tectonics; Peter Kokelaar (Murchison Medal) for seminal work on the processes associated with explosive volcanic eruptions; Peter Burgess (Aberconway Medal) for his work in applying numerical modelling techniques and methods of quantitative analysis to sedimentary systems and their preserved stratigraphy.

3. Kurt Lambeck (Wollaston Medal) for his diverse contributions in geophysics, geodesy and geology, especially interactions between the solid Earth and surface processes; the Earth’s gravity field, tidal and rotational effects upon the planet, the evolution of the Earth-Moon orbital system, lithospheric and crustal deformation processes, sea-level change and the history of Earth’s ice-sheets during glacial cycles, and the impact of sea-level changes on civilizations.
