Abstract
- Shaunna M. Morrison has been awarded the Mineralogical Society of America Award for 2023 for her groundbreaking contributions to mineralogy. She has pioneered the use of data analytical and visualization methods to understand complex mineral systems over time. Dr. Morrison's work includes significant breakthroughs in Mars mineralogy, where she developed regression curves for mineral unit-cell parameters and solved the problem of using Mars minerals as internal standards to correct for errors in instrumental geometry. She has also made advancements in network analysis and mineral informatics, leading to discoveries in geochemistry, metagenomics, and paleobiology. Dr. Morrison's exceptional leadership skills and ability to inspire and collaborate with diverse experts have contributed to her growing influence in the scientific community.
