SES Assistant Professor Melisa A. Diaz will receive the 2026 F. W. Clarke Award from the Geochemical Society this July. The Clarke Award honors a single outstanding contribution to geochemistry or cosmochemistry by an early-career scientist. Prof. Diaz is recognized for her work to understand the geochemical signatures that link the distribution of organisms in Transantarctic Mountains soils to the dynamics of past glacier movement. Congratulations Melisa!
