Reinhard Hesse, a retired professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, has been awarded the Michael J. Keen Medal for outstanding contributions to marine or lacustrine geoscience. The Keen Medal is awarded by the Marine Geosciences Division of the Geological Association of Canada (GAC).

Professor Hesse is an internationally renowned earth scientist who has made major contributions to the disciplines of sedimentary and marine geology through discoveries of lasting significance. This includes pioneering work on the Northwest Atlantic Mid-Ocean Channel (NAMOC) system of the Labrador Sea. As a result of his work, the sedimentation processes are better known in the Labrador Sea than on any other glaciated continental margin and have become an essential reference for related studies around Antarctica and elsewhere. Professor Hesse was presented the Keen Medal at the Joint Assembly of the American Geophysical Union, Geological Association of Canada, Mineralogical Association of Canada, Canadian Geophysical Union, and International Association of Hydrologists on May 23, 2009 in Toronto, Ontario. Congratulations, Professor Hesse!
