2005 HAROLD MAZURSKY AWARD NOMINATIONS SOUGHT
Nominations for the 2005 Harold Masursky Award for Meritorious
Service to Planetary Science are due March 7 2005 at noon CST.
This prize was established by the DPS to recognize and honor
individuals who have rendered outstanding service to planetary
science and exploration through engineering, managerial,
programmatic, or public service activities.
For purposes of this prize, "planetary science" is understood
to refer to the multidisciplinary study of the solar system
and its members, excluding work dealing primarily with the Sun
or the Earth.
Candidates for the Masursky Award may be of any age or
nationality, and need not be members of the DPS. While
primarily intended to honor living people, a posthumous
nomination may be submitted within one year of a nominee's death.
Go to http://www.aas.org/~dps/prizes_contact.html, fill out
the nomination form and send it to me along with the
supporting materials listed there. A complete nomination
will be considered by the Prize subcommittee for three years.
You may wish to contact me to see if there already is an
active pending nomination for your candidate. Because of the
time it takes to accumulate materials needed for a nomination,
I encourage all of you to begin as soon as possible. The award
will be presented at the 2005 DPS meeting in Cambridge, England.

1991 C. Sagan 1992 H. J. Smith
1993 M. S. Matthews 1994 J. A. Burns

2005 SAGAN MEDAL NOMINATIONS SOUGHT
Dear Members -
Nominations for the 2005 Carl Sagan Medal are due March 7 2005
at noon CST. This award was established by the DPS to recognize
and honor outstanding communication by an active planetary
scientist to the general public. It is to be awarded to
scientists whose efforts have significantly contributed to a
public understanding of, and enthusiasm for, planetary science.
Communicating our science to the public is a critical part of
sustaining our science, which is supported largely through
public financing by state and federal institutions. The public,
in turn, finds solar system exploration immediate and exciting.
We owe a debt to those planetary scientists who take it upon
themselves to clearly articulate what we do and present it with
energy and enthusiasm to general audiences to the benefit of all.
For purposes of this prize, "planetary science" is understood
to refer to the multidisciplinary study of the solar system
and its members, excluding work dealing primarily with the
Sun or the Earth.
Candidates for the Sagan Medal may be of any age or nationality.
Only living nominees will be considered for an award.
Go to http://www.aas.org/~dps/prizes_contact.html, fill out
the nomination form and send it to me along with the
supporting materials listed there. A complete nomination
will be considered by the Prize subcommittee for three years.
You may wish to contact me to see if there already is an
active pending nomination for your candidate. Because of
the time it takes to accumulate materials needed for a
nomination, I encourage all of you to begin as soon as
possible. The award will be presented at the 2005 DPS meeting
in Cambridge, England.
Sagan Medal winners include:
1998 W. K. Hartmann 1999 C. R. Chapman
2000 L. A. Lebofsky 2001 A. Brahic
2002 H. B. Hammel 2003 (no award)
