Such achievements may consist of either a single outstanding contribution, or a series of publications that have had great influence on the field. The Gofdschmidt Medal will normally be awarded annually, but may be reserved at the discretion of Council. F. W. CLARKE MEDAL. This award, consisting of a medal and a certificate, shall be awarded to a young scientist for a single outstanding contribution to geochemistry or cosmochemistry, normally published within five years of the completion of his formal studies. Independence and originality shall be important factors. The Clarke Medal will normally be given annually, but may be reserved at the discretion of Council. Neither award is normally shared, except in highly unusual cases, such as independent discoveries or joint work where the contributions or the COworkers are essentially equal. Members of Council are ineligible for the duration of their term. Past medalists are permanently ineligible.
