LUHR AWARD NOMINATION RULES
The Luhr Award is designated to be granted to scientists worked continuously with outstanding results on monogenetic volcanism with special relevance to understand phreatomagmatism and its role in the evolution of mafic explosive volcanism. Nominations are especially encouraged for researchers made their research widely available to both the scientific and public communities.
Nomination packages for the Luhr Awards should include:
(1) a formal nomination letter, not to exceed three pages,
(2) a curriculum vitae of the nominated person, and
(3) at least three supporting letters originating from different institutions.
Nomination packages are due 6 months before the actual IAVCEI-IAS International Maar Conferences (nominations must arrive by 15th August 2011) and should be directed to the actual Chairman of the International Maar Conference.
They should be sent by e-mail (as PDF or DOC documents). A single hard copy of certificates and recommendation letters should also be sent by mail.

LUHR AWARD
LUHR AWARD TO BE GIVEN DURING THE ACTUAL
IAVCEI - IAS
INTERNATIONAL MAAR CONFERENCE
The Luhr Award honors the memory of Professor Jim Luhr who was born on May 13, 1953, and died in January 1, 2007 in University Park, Maryland. Professor Luhr is known for his pioneering work in understanding the plumbing system, chemical evolution, vent distribution, erosion and role of phreatomagmatism in the evolution of monogenetic volcanic fields. He directed the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program starting in 1995, and was well-known for elegantly written descriptions of insightful, multi-pronged studies of his beloved Mexican volcanoes. The award is granted on the basis of nomination to the Organising and Scientific Committee of the actual International Maar Conference and endorsed by the IAVCEI. It is given in every IAVCEI - IAS International Maar Conference to a scientist of outstanding distinction who made fundamental contributions to research in geochemistry, physical volcanology, geochronology and environmental aspects of monogenetic volcanism, phreatomagmatism with special relevance to maar volcanoes, tuff rings, tuff cones and scoria cones.
