Andrew M. Davis
The University of Chicago, USA
Through his studies of evaporation/condensation processes in the solar nebula, early solar system chronology, and presolar grains and nucleosynthesis, Andrew Davis has broken new ground in the fields of geochemistry and cosmochemistry. The foundation for many of these studies has been development and creative use of novel instrumentation (SIMS, RIMS). Without any expectation of recognition or fanfare, he has been an exceptional scientific citizen, generously sharing his extensive knowledge and creative ideas, serving on numerous NASA committees, and providing his expert advice for sample-return missions.
