Dear Colleagues,
The Mineralogical Society of America is seeking nominations for the 2026 Roebling Medal.
The Roebling Medal is the highest award of the Mineralogical Society of America for scientific eminence as represented primarily by scientific publication of outstanding original research in mineralogy. The science of mineralogy is defined broadly for purposes of the Roebling Medal, and candidates need not qualify as mineralogists; rather their published research should be related to the mineralogical sciences and should make some outstanding contribution to these fields. Membership in the Mineralogical Society of America is not a necessary prerequisite to receive the award, and nationality, personality, age of candidate, or place of employment shall not be considerations in evaluating candidates for the award
A full description of the award, a list of previous recipients and instructions for submitting nominations may be found at
https://msaweb.org/roebling/
The deadline for submitting nominations for the 2026 Roebling Medal is June 1, 2025
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Daniele Cherniak
Roebling Medal Committee Chair
