Der NAS Award in the Evolution of Earth and Life ist eine Auszeichnung der National Academy of Sciences auf dem Gebiet der Paläontologie.

Geschichte

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Die Mary Clark Thompson Medal wird seit 1921 vergeben und zeichnet besondere Leistungen auf dem Gebiet der Geologie und Paläontologie aus. Sie ist nach der Stifterin, der Philanthropin Mary Clark Thompson (1835–1923) benannt.

Die Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal wird seit 1917 vergeben und zeichnet besondere Leistungen auf dem Gebiet der Zoologie und Paläontologie aus. Sie ist nach dem Zoologen Daniel Giraud Elliot (1835–1915) benannt und wurde von Margaret Henderson Elliot gestiftet.

Seit 2018 wird der NAS Award in the Evolution of Earth and Life abwechselnd als Mary Clark Thompson Medal und als Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal vergeben.
