The David Linton Award
The David Linton Award is given to a geomorphologist who has made a leading contribution to the discipline over a sustained period. The winner is invited to present the Linton Lecture, which is one of the central elements of the AGM.
Latest Winner (2008)
Professor Tom Dunne
Tom Dunne (Professor of Environmental Science and Management, and of Earth Science at the University of California Santa Barbara) is awarded the Linton Award this year. Throughout his career Tom has published a large number of papers that are widely cited and have, more than once, significantly changed the direction of our research, in the fields of both hydrology and geomorphology. He is currently studying how physical and biological processes interact to create and maintain habitat for fish and their food sources. Among other honours he is a Fellow of the AGU and a member of the (US) National Academy of Science, and the BSG felt it fitting now to cap these with a geomorphological award.
