Liane G. Benning, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences (Germany), for a long and varied contributions to our fundamental understanding of near surface geochemical processes including abiotic and biotic controls on mineral nucleation and growth, and the role of microbes on glacial melting and global climate. Liane has also played a major role in applying and developing novel nanoscale and spectroscopic tools to quantifying natural processes.
