The Urey Award is presented annually for outstanding contributions advancing geochemistry over a career.
It is named in honor of Harold Clayton Urey, an American physical chemist whose pioneering work on isotopes earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934 and later led him to theories of planetary evolution.
