2013 RECIPIENT OF THE MARILYN AND STURGES W. BAILEY DISTINGUISHED MEMBER AWARD

摘要

Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to introduce Professor Stephen (Steve) Guggenheim from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the University of Illinois at Chicago for the 2013 Marilyn and Sturges W. Bailey Distinguished Member Award. Steve is internationally recognized as one of the leading crystallographers and mineralogists whose research has focused on the structure and crystal chemistry of layer silicates. Steve received his B.S. in Geology from Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio, in 1970 and his M.S. in Geology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1972, where he worked on X-ray diffraction of heat-treated lunar pigeonites under the supervision of J.J. Papike. From there Steve went on to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to work on cation ordering in subgroup symmetry in the micas with Sturges 'Bull' Bailey for his Ph.D. His dissertation laid the foundation for an eminent career in clay mineralogy, which continues today. It is very fitting that at this, the 50th Anniversary Annual Meeting of The Clay Minerals Society, Steve is given the highest honor of the Society, which bears the name of his Ph.D. advisor and mentor.
