Dave Sandwell to receive the 2004 George P. Woollard award of the Geological Society of America
IGPP Professor and Researcher Dave Sandwell has been selected to receive the 2004 George P. Woollard award of the Geological Society of America. The award “is given annually to recognize outstanding contributions to geology through the application of the principals and techniques of geophysics.” Previous Woollard Award winners include Scripps Institution of Oceanography colleague Lisa Tauxe, Don Forsythe, Tom Jordan, and Norm Sleep.
Professor Sandwell's interests include Marine Gravity Anomaly from Satellite Altimetry, Predicted and Measured Seafloor Topography, Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry - InSAR, Thermal and Mechanical Structure of the Oceanic Lithosphere, Geodynamic Applications of Satellite Altimetry, Tectonics on Venus and Intraplate Deformation. However, Dave is probably most well known for the Smith and Sandwell global bathymetry dataset (Smith, W. H. F., and D. T. Sandwell, Global seafloor topography from satellite altimetry and ship depth soundings, Science, v. 277, p. 1957-1962, 26 Sept., 1997).
The award will be presented at the annual GSA meeting on November 6th 2004 in Denver, Colorado.
