Eric Oelkers, GET Laboratory, CNRS (France) and University College London (UK), EAG Urey Award medallist, for his major contributions in the predictive description of mineral dissolution/precipitation rates in natural systems which have served as the basis for predicting the behavior of radioactive waste and carbon storage in the subsurface, as well as chemical weathering at the Earth’s surface, and for contributions to geochemistry reaching far beyond his scientific production.
