3. IAG Presents their Levallois Medal and Bomford Prize

At the Sapporo General Assembly, the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) presented the Levallois Medal to George Veis (Greece) in recognition of his distinguished service to the science of geodesy. IAG also presented the Bomford Prize to Ramon Hanssen, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. The Guy Bomford Prize is awarded to a young scientist or to a team young scientists for outstanding theoretical or applied contributions to geodetic studies, particularly in the four-year period preceding the General Assembly at which the award is made.
