The scope of her work spans billions of years and has helped chronicle the history of the Earth, the evolution of life and the solar system.</p> <p>“I am exceptionally thrilled to receive the Logan Medal. It is the greatest honour of my career,” Kamo said.</p> <p>“I feel deeply grateful to the Geological Association of Canada and to my mentors and colleagues, and I share this award with my longtime lab associates. I am proud and pleased to be part of such a supportive Earth science community.”</p> <p>The honour recognizes Kamo’s contributions to the field of high-precision uranium-lead geochronology – one of the most important methods for geological dating – as well as her part in important studies addressing and testing critical problems in Earth sciences.</p> <h3><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/sandra-kamo-awarded-distinguished-logan-medal">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Arts &amp; Science</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 07 Jul 2023 13:15:52 +0000 siddiq22 302198 at Barbara Sherwood Lollar wins Herzberg Gold Medal /celebrates/barbara-sherwood-lollar-wins-herzberg-gold-medal <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Barbara Sherwood Lollar wins Herzberg Gold Medal</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/research-innovation" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Innovation</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>s.anderson</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2019-05-06T11:36:22-04:00" title="Monday, May 6, 2019 - 11:36" class="datetime">Mon, 05/06/2019 - 11:36</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/earth-sciences" hreflang="en">Earth Sciences</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/gerhard-herzberg-canada-gold-medal" hreflang="en">Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/women-stem" hreflang="en">Women in STEM</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/media/barbara-sherwood-lollar.jpg" width="1140" height="760" alt="Portrait of Barbara Sherwood Lollar"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>(Photo by Perry King)</p> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The University of Toronto’s <strong>Barbara Sherwood Lollar</strong> has received the Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal – the country’s top prize for science and engineering research – for her work on water and the life it supports.</p> <p>A<a href="https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-professors/"> University Professor </a>in the department of Earth sciences, Sherwood Lollar was recognized for decades-long research into the geochemistry of fluids deep in the Earth’s crust, drinking water remediation and astrobiology.
