Geochemistry Division Awards

---

Congratulations Bob Aller!

The Division of Geochemistry of the American Chemical Society will award the 4^th Geochemistry Division Medal to Dr. Robert C. Aller. He has played an exceptionally influential role in our understanding of sediment geochemistry since the publication of his Ph.D. work in 1977 under the direction of Dr. Karl Turekian at Yale University. Beginning with his dissertation at Yale and continuing with his faculty positions first at the University of Chicago and now at Stony Brook University, Bob has displayed dual gifts for experimental research and mathematical modeling applied to the problems of geochemistry and biogeochemistry of sediments.

The award address will be presented on Tuesday, March 27 during the ACS Spring national meeting in Chicago.

See the division newsletter for more of George Luther’s citation of Bob Aller.
