The Vening Meinesz Medal is an annual award for outstanding research in geodesy.
Background
The medal, inaugurated in 1994, has been awarded by the European Geosciences Union (EGU) since 2004, and before that by the European Geophysical Society (EGS). The medal is named in honor of Felix Andries Vening Meinesz, a Dutch geophysicists and geodesist, famous for his invention enabling precise measurements of gravity at sea. The portrait medal was designed by the Hungarian artist József Kótai, renowned for his work as a medalist, goldsmith, and silversmith.
The medal should not be confused with the NWO Vening Meinesz Prijs, a prize given, every two years, to outstanding young scientists who work in the geosciences and are employed in the Netherlands.
