Steve Grand Receives AGU Lehmann Medal

December 12, 2023

Professor emeritus Stephen Grand was awarded the 2022 Inge Lehmann Medal by the American Geophysical Union. The prestigious medal recognizes outstanding contributions to the understanding of the structure, composition and dynamics of Earth’s mantle and core. Grand joined The University of Texas at Austin in 1986. His research has focused on seismically imaging Earth’s mantle. This has included an effort to develop a 3D image of shear velocity throughout the mantle, with the ultimate goal to determine the dynamics of flow in the mantle.
