Volcanologist Richard S. Fiske receives award

nd National Geographic, have also published his dramatic photographs.

Dr. Fiske returned to research in 1985 after serving as Director of the National Museum of Natural History. He played a major role in the planning of the museum's Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals, which opened to the public in 1997, and was a member of the project's Core Curatorial Team. Prior to joining the Smithsonian Institution in 1976, Dr. Fiske was Chief of the Office of Geochemistry and Geophysics at the U.S. Geological Survey. In addition to his contributions to public education, Dr. Fiske has authored dozens of peer-reviewed papers that have been published in scientific journals. He received his PhD in geology from The Johns Hopkins University in 1960.

The AGI Award for Outstanding Contribution to Public Understanding of the Geosciences was established in 1985 and is presented annually to a person, organization, or institution in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the public understanding of geology. The contribution may be in geology as a science or in geology as it relates to economic or environmental aspects of modern civilization. The award may be given to a geologist or non-geologist, or to an organization or an institution that is geologic or non-geologic in character. Recipients in the recent past include John Noble Wilford, Esther and Sherwood Tuttle and Ann Harris, and M. Dane "Duke" Picard.

The American Geological Institute is a nonprofit federation of 41 scientific and professional associations that represent more than 100,000 geologists, geophysicists, and other earth scientists. Founded in 1948, AGI provides information services to geoscientists, serves as a voice of shared interests in our profession, plays a major role in strengthening geoscience education, and strives to increase public awareness of the vital role the geosciences play in society's use of resources and interaction with the environment.
