The Ian Campbell Medal is given in recognition of singular performance in and contribution to the geoscience profession. Candidates are measured against the distinguished career of Ian Campbell, whose service to the profession touched virtually every facet of the geosciences. Campbell was a most uncommon man of remarkable accomplishment and widespread influence. In his career as a geoscientist, educator, administrator, and public servant, he was noted for his candor and integrity. The title of the award was changed for the 2009 award to add "for Superlative Service to the Geosciences" in order to emphasize the importance of service shown by the recipient.
The chair of the Member Society Council selects a nominating committee for the award. The committee consists of five members: current representatives to the AGI Member Society Council from the Association of American State Geologists, the Geological Society of America, and the Mineralogical Society of America; and two at-large representatives from the remaining member society representatives.
The award is limited to one per year. The recipient must be living at the time of selection. The medal is presented by the president of AGI or other citationist during the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America at the time of the presentation of the GSA medals.
