2015 AIPG HONORS AND AWARDS
sor an AIPG student chapter at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.
In an era when geology is under pres- sure we need to let the public be aware about the importance of geology to many environmental problems including the protection of water supplies, under- standing of geological hazards, and the need for raw materials. Membership in AIPG is a necessary path for geologists to understand the value of their own profession and to influence public policy. Thank you again for this honor.
University of New Brunswick, Canada (1981 -1982). He held professor posi- tions at North Carolina State University (1983-1984) and Northern Arizona University (1984-1991) before moving to UNM in 1992.
Karl E. Karlstrom and Laura J. Crossey 2015 Recipients of the AIPG Outstanding Achievement Award
Dr. Karlstrom has generated 5.15 mil- lion in external funding, including three active National Science Foundation awards. His CV lists 170 published journal articles and numerous geologic maps, technical reports, guidebook arti- cles, and abstracts (many coauthored with students). He is an expert on the Proterozoic assembly of North America within the supercontinents of Nuna and Rodinia. He is a foremost expert on geologic evolution of Grand Canyon, and has made major contributions to evaluating mantle influences on the tectonics and geomorphic systems in the Colorado Plateau-Rocky Mountain region. He has worked on tectonic influ- ences on water quality in groundwater systems in Australia, Egypt, and the American Southwest. Google Scholar lists 6748 citations of over 425 of his publications since 1979 and an H-index of 43 (43 publications have been cited at least 43 times).
Dr. Karl E. Karlstrom is a Professor of Geology in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico. His research specialties are structural geology and tectonics, especially: formation and stabilization of continents, the supercontinent cycle, mantle-to-surface tectonic interconnec- tions, dynamic topography, and neotec- tonics. He has been at UNM since 1991.
Dr. Karlstrom grew up in Flagstaff, Arizona and received his B.S. in Geology from Northern Arizona University in 1973. He received his PhD in Geology in 1981 from the University of Wyoming. He conducted post-doctoral work at the
Dr. Karlstrom has mentored 56 gradu- ate students to completion: 5 post-docs, 9 PhD, and 42 MS students, plus numerous undergraduate theses. He currently has 3 PhD, 2 MS, and 2 BS active students. Most of his students have authored peer reviewed publications and many of the students have gone into the professori- ate and other influential geosciences positions. His teaching includes all aca- demic levels and includes experiential field-based approaches in Freshman Learning Communities Introductory Geology, New Mexico Field Geology, the core EPS Structural Geology course, and the E&PS Advanced Summer Field Course.
Dr. Karlstrom was originator and PI (with Laura Crossey) for the 15-year- long development of the Trail of Time Geoscience Education Exhibition at Grand Canyon. This exhibition opened in 2010 and provides successful infor- mal geoscience education for ~5 million annual Park visitors. It received the 2011 First Place award from National Association for Interpretation in the Media Awards Competition. He has appeared in dozens of TV documentaries and media appearances to promote the geosciences.
Dr. Karlstrom’s professional service includes local, national, and interna-
tional service. His has served as mem- ber of the Canadian Pan-Lithoprobe subcommittee, Australian Research Council (ARC) “expert of internation- al standing”, founding member of the NSF Earthscope Science and Education Committee, Science Editor for GSA Today (2000- 2003), and the Geological Society of America Bulletin (2005-2008). He received the 2009 Distinguished Service Award from Geological Society of America and was elected Geological Society of America Fellow in 2010.
Dr. Laura J. Crossey is a professor and Chair of Earth & Planetary Sciences at the University of New Mexico. Her research interests include low-temper- ature geochemistry; including sedi- mentary diagenesis, hydrochemistry and geomicrobiology. She has been at UNM since 1985. Dr. Crossey grew up in Deerfield, Illinois and received her Bachelor’s degree in Geology from The Colorado College in 1977. She received her Master’s degree from Washington University in 1979, and her PhD from University of Wyoming in 1985.
Dr. Crossey has authored numerous journal articles, technical reports, guide- book articles, and abstracts (many coau- thored with students). Google Scholar lists 3432 citations since 1979 and an H-index of 31 (31 publications have been cited at least 31 times).
Dr. Crossey has mentored 56 gradu- ate students to completion: 4 post-docs, 13 PhD, and 18 MS students, plus over 30 undergraduate theses. Her teaching includes all academic levels and includes experiential field-based approaches in Freshman Learning Communities Introductory Geology, Aqueous Geochemistry, Geomicrobiology, the capstone course for Environmental Science majors, and the E&PS Advanced Summer Field Course.
