Krishnan Medal

The Krishnan Medal is an Indian geology award given annually by the Indian Geophysical Union.[1] The award is named after M. S. Krishnan, an eminent geologist.

Overview

The Indian Geophysical Union instituted the Krishnan Medal to be awarded each year to an outstanding geophysicist/geologist whose age does not exceed 40 years (on 1 January of the year) for outstanding work in specific branches of geophysics/geology and related geosciences.

The medallist is presented with the award at the next annual meeting. Since 1993 a Gold Medal has been awarded to the recipient.
