Year | Recipient | Rationale |
---|---|---|
1969 | Ralph A. Bagnold
|
for his outstanding contributions in fluvial geology |
1973 | Luna B. Leopold
|
for his contributions to the field of hydraulic geometry of rivers and his studies of the riverine environment |
1976 | Walter B. Langbein | for his significant advancement of hydrology and fluviatile geology through geophysics and mathematics |
1982 | John T. Hack | for his major contributions to understanding of form and characteristics of river channels as related to geologic stratigraphy |
1986 | Stanley A. Schumm | for his sound, insightful contributions to the role of fluvial processes in the evolution of slopes, stream channels, and sediment production, and their practical concerns to man |
1990 | John R. L. Allen | for his distinguished contributions to fluvial sedimentology and paleogeomorphology, which skillfully blends field studies of modern and ancient fluvial environments with laboratory experiments and mathematical modeling |
1994 | Claudio Vita-Finzi | for his distinguished contributions to fluvial morphology in relation to climate, tectonic activity, and human history (archaeological geology), on the basis of field investigations on several continents |
1998 | Thomas Dunne | for his field observations as the basis for detailed theoretical analyses of many hydro-geomorphological problems, including surface erosion, snow-melt runoff, sediment budgets for small plots, and great rivers, including the Amazon |
2002 | Gary Parker | for rigorous analysis based on fundamental physical principles and laboratory experiments markedly advancing our understanding of sediment transport, river morphology, and channel behavior |
2006 | Michael A. Church | for his extensive and innovative field and laboratory studies of the morphology and dynamics of natural and managed river channels at a range of scales |
2010 | Alan D. Howard | for his seminal contributions on the theory of fluvial erosion, sedimentation, and landscape evolution |
2014 | Kelin X. Whipple | for his seminal studies on the role of fluvial incision as a key process that links climate, tectonics, and landscape evolution |
2019 | Kay Behrensmeyer | For her contributions to understanding fluvial processes , how they are expressed in the rock record, and how they shape our understanding of ecological change throughout the history of life on land
