Dr.
Robert Detrick is the nineteenth recipient of the A.G. Huntsman Award. He
is being recognized for his seminal contributions to our understanding of
the genesis and evolution of the oceanic lithosphere. Dr. Detrick has led
the marine geosciences community into a new era of marine seismological
investigation of the ocean crust. His work on seismic imaging of magma
chambers below fast-spreading ridges has been used to define the principle
characteristics of mid-ocean ridges. In addition he has had a major
influence on important international programs, such as RIDGE and ODP. An
exceptional educator, he is widely respected by all with whom he has
worked. |
