The Society of Economic Geologists Awards for 2005 deg R. A. F. Penrose Gold Medal for 2004 Citation of Brian J. Skinner

摘要

Mr. President, members and guests: It is a great pleasure to be presenting Brian J. Skinner as the Society of Economic Geologists 2005 Penrose Gold Medalist. To help Brian celebrate his award, we are joined by his wife, Cathy, to whom we extend a very warm welcome. Brian is the 40th recipient of the SEG's Penrose Gold Medal but it is not the first award he has received from our Society. In 1981 he was awarded the inaugural Silver Medal, and in 2002 he received the Ralph W. Marsden Award. With the award of the 2005 Penrose Gold Medal, he becomes the first person to have received all three of these awards from the SEG. In addition, the Brian J. Skinner Award is named in his honor. This is an exceptional record of recognition and a truly remarkable achievement.
