Congratulations to Dr. Christopher Spencer on being awarded the 2024 W.W. Hutchison Medal by the Geological Association of Canada (GAC). Dr. Spencer is receiving the award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to understanding the formation, destruction, and secular evolution of the continental crust.
"The Hutchison Medal is awarded by GAC to a young individual for recent exceptional advances in Canadian earth science research. By focusing on the behaviour and abundances of stable and radiogenic isotopes, Chris has become a world leader in the field of tectonochemistry. His research is underpinned by fieldwork, followed by detailed geochemical and isotopic analyses to understand orogenic processes and secular changes in those processes over 4.5 billion years of Earth history."
More information is available on the GAC website.
Congratulations, Dr. Spencer!
