VLADIMIR FRIDLAND SOIL GEOGRAPHY MEDAL
Alessandro Samuel Rosa
Dear digital soil mappers, the IUSS Alert 235 brought information about the Vladimir Fridland Medal
The Vladimir Fridland Medal was introduced by IUSS Commission 1.2. – Soil Geography to commemorate Prof. Vladimir M. Fridland for his distinguished contribution to soil geography. This IUSS medal is awarded for outstanding and sustained contribution in the discipline of geography and cartography of soils.The awardees must demonstrate an outstanding and sustained performance in the discipline of geography and cartography of soils. All areas of soil geography including research, teaching and its application to environmental, agricultural and technogenic problems are considered relevant. The medal is not invested posthumously.
The Vladimir Fridland Soi Geography Medal is currently awarded every four years and presented at the World Congress of Soil Science of the IUSS. The call for the nominations is publicized during the year before the date of the award, via the Commission Business Meetings and/or IUSS Alerts.
It is not clear to me if this is a call for nominations, as there was no deadline mentioned in the alert. Please let us know if you have more details. I think that the DSM community should keep an eye on this prize.
Cheers,
