Society Fellowship is an honor bestowed on the best of our profession by election at the spring GSA Council meeting. GSA members are nominated by current GSA Fellows in recognition of their distinguished contributions to the geosciences. GSA’s newly elected Fellows will be recognized at the GSA 2019 Annual Meeting Presidential Address & Awards Ceremony on 22 Sept. in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. We invite you to read some of what their nominators had to say:
"James W. Handschy (Indiana University): Jim is recognized for superb applied research in tectonics and sedimentation in over 100 basins and all tectonic environments in every continent except Antarctica while rising to the rank of Global Chief Geoscientist at ConocoPhillips; in addition, he has made important contributions to service and geoscience education, particularly field camps." —Virginia Sisson
