Dr. Jim Channell, Distinguished Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences, has been awarded the 2014 International Cappellini Medal of the Italian Geological Society for his extensive magneto-stratigraphic studies in Italy. Two recent articles published in Paleogeography, Paleoclimatology, and Palaeoecology represent the culmination of over 40 years of research of Italian sedimentary successions contributing to a better definition of the scale of geomagnetic polarity at the global scale.
