Aberconway Medal
The Aberconway Medal was established by a donation from English China Clays International Ltd and its chair Charles Melville McLaren (1913–2003), 3rd Baron Aberconway, for the Institution of Geologists in 1980. The Medal has continued to be awarded after the IG’s reunification with the Society in 1991.
It will be awarded biennially to persons with no more than 25 years' full-time equivalent experience. The award recognises distinction in the practice of applied or economic geoscience with special reference to work in industry.
