The Mawson Medal and Lecture recognise outstanding contributions to earth science in Australia and commemorates the work of the late Sir Douglas Mawson, FAA, FRS, geologist and Antarctic explorer.  The award is made to a scientist normally resident in Australia.  The Lecture is delivered at the Congresses of the Geological Society of Australia.

NB – If a proposed candidate is already the recipient of an Academy award, the second award must be for a distinct, additional, body of work undertaken since the first award, and/or work in a different field.

The medal is made by The Royal Australian Mint, Canberra and was designed by Dr Suart Devlin AO, CMG
