The AGI citation notes, for example, that Scott has served
the geoscience profession admirably at many levels, including as President of
AGI (2015-16), AAPG (2008-09), and
AASG (2007-08), as well as in various
capacities for SEPM and SEG.
The Medal honors Ian Campbell, 1959-1969 State
Geologist of California, whose service to the profession touched virtually
every facet of the geosciences. Campbell was a most uncommon man of remarkable
candor, integrity, accomplishment, and influence as a geologist, educator,
administrator, and public servant.
The Campbell Medal holds special significance for AASG, due
to the role that Ian Campbell played in AASG, and due to the respect and
admiration that the AASG community felt for Ian.
The Medal is presented each year to a nationally recognized,
living statesman with a distinguished record of significant achievements in
science, education, and administration, in support of the profession of geology
and its role in society.
The award is intended to inspire us all to similarly
contribute to our science, our profession, and to the public.
