2022 Campbell Medalist, Jean M. Bahr

The AGI Campbell Medal honors Ian Campbell, 1959-1969 State Geologist of California, whose service to our profession was profound. The Medal is presented each year to a nationally recognized, living statesperson 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 2022 Campbell Medalist is Jean Bahr, Professor Emerita, University of Wisconsin-Madison, for her unselfish service to the geosciences through proactive leadership of professional societies, inspirational mentorship of students and colleagues, valued advice on science for sound public policy at the highest levels of the Federal Government, and respected research contributions. Dr. Bahr is a highly respected hydrogeologist whose research contributions focus on the interactions between physical and biogeochemical processes in groundwater, effects of heterogeneity in solute transport, paleohydrology, groundwater and ecosystems. Congratulations, Jean! (americangeosciences.org)
