Vetlesen Prize
The Vetlesen Prize was established in 1959 by the New York-based G. Unger Vetlesen Foundation. Awarded for “scientific achievement resulting in a clearer understanding of the Earth, its history, or its relation to the universe,” the prize was designed to be the Nobel Prize of the Earth sciences. The prize is administered by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, one of the world’s leading Earth science research institutions, which convenes a committee from both its own ranks and those of other major institutions to judge nominations. Competition for the Vetlesen Prize is open to any individual worldwide.
Value: USD 250,000, awarded once every three years
