Keith Runcorn Prize
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Keith Runcorn Prize is awarded annually by the Royal Astronomical Society for the best British doctoral thesis in geophysics (including planetary science). The winner receives a cash prize and presents the results of their thesis at a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
The prize is sponsored by Oxford University Press, and since 2007[2] named after Keith Runcorn, a British physicist whose paleomagnetic reconstruction of the relative motions of Europe and America revived the theory of continental drift.
