Recipients are selected on the recommendation of the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences. There is no separate student application.
Hugh Miller is a geophysicist who taught at Memorial University of Newfoundland from 1979 until 2007 and served as a past president of Geoscientists Canada.
