James Kennett For his contributions using expertise in biostratigraphy, based on foraminifera, and crucial discoveries in earth history from the South Pole to the equator; from the temperature ocean abyss to the methane in the atmosphere; from the scale of tens of million of years down to the shortest scale available to a geologist.

Sci. degree in Biology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1983. Under a severe economical crisis, he immigrated to the USA in the fall of 1984 to carry out a Ph. D. in chemistry at the University of Maryland at College Park, where he graduated in 1989.

Back in the times of the early Greek geographers (c.500 BC) the land mass of the Earth was thought to be surrounded by an immense sea called Oceanus. The origin of the water in the rivers was unknown, but, because of its unusual seasonal behavior, the Nile was thought to be connected directly to Oceanus.

His study of phase relations in hydrous phases tested ideas that now underpin interpretations of deep seismic structure, and he has experimentally constrained the effect of water on thermal expansivity and phase relations in the transition zone, as well as the stability of hydrous phases in the deep lower mantle.

He first looked at the biochemistry of invertebrates but quickly moved to phytoplankton, publishing important papers on nutrient uptake by, and light-shade adaptation in, phytoplankton both in culture and in the field. His work on marine photosynthesis also involved the design of a new measurement technique, based on in vivo active fluorescence, to estimate the rate of photosynthetic electron transport in situ.

His comprehensive research has culminated in the publication of two essential books that represent the state of the art in sedimentary magnetic research: “Paleomagnetism of Sedimentary Rocks: Process and Interpretation”, published in 2012, and “Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy” with Linda Hinnov published in 2015.

His group had previously determined the degree of accelerated erosion in the highlands of Sri Lanka after deforestation (Geology, 2003). Their studies also demonstrated the remarkably low rates of both weathering and erosion in this wet tropical landscape (JGR-ES, 2004), contrary to prevailing qualitative geochemical assumptions concerning rates in regions of high relief, temperatures and precipitation.

Claude Lorius The 2006 Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal is awarded to Claude Lorius for his outstanding achievements in advancing knowledge of past climates and atmospheric composition by the study of Antarctic ice cores and the bubbles of air entrapped in them. Claude Lorius was born in 1932 and obtained his doctorate in 1962. He has taken part in more than 20 expeditions to the polar regions, primarily to Antarctica.
Home / Awards & medals / Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal / 2017 / Jack J. Middelburg
Middelburg has pioneered the development of biogeochemical models by introducing the reactive continuum concept for organic matter decomposition in marine systems; a concept that accurately depicts the role of age and quality of organic matter in the course of its degradation.
