Biographical memoir of Professor John Jaeger
The Jaeger Medal recognises the contribution of Professor John Conrad
Jaeger, FAA, FRS, to Australian Earth science. The award is made to a
scientist for investigations of a high order into the solid Earth or its
oceans carried out in Australia or having some connection with Australian
Earth science. Although work carried out during a candidate's entire career
will be taken into consideration, special weight will be given to recent
research. The award is normally made every two years.
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.
Nominations are confidential. The nomination form and guidelines for referees' reports are available here.
