The Marilyn and Sturges W. Bailey Distinguished Member Award
The Marilyn and Sturges W. Bailey Award-the
highest honor of The Clay Minerals Society (CMS)-is awarded solely for
scientific eminence in clay mineralogy (in its broadest sense) as evidenced
primarily by the publication of outstanding original scientific research and by
the impact of this research on the clay sciences. Service to clay mineralogy,
teaching, and administrative accomplishments are not considered in the
evaluation of nominees.
This award, endowed by Linda and David
Bailey, replaces The Clay Mineral Society's Distinguished Member Award, and
Distinguished Members (see below) are therefore not eligible for the Bailey
Award. This award is not restricted to members of CMS.
Nominations for the Marilyn and Sturges W. Bailey
Award consist of a cover letter and supporting letters outlining the candidate's
qualifications in light of the criteria above. Effective nominating material
may include a discussion of the nature and significance of the nominee's
research; the extent of the nominee's publication record; the impact of the
nominee's research as evidenced by measures such as number and nature of
citations, other awards, etc. (Supporting letters should be solicited by the
primary nominator.)
Nominating materials must be received
by the committee chair no later than 1
March:
