Drs. Luke Beranek and J. Kim Welford (Department of Earth Sciences, Memorial) were named among the 50 Under 50, a joint award from the Geological Society of America, the Geological Association of Canada and the Sociedad Geológica Mexicana recognizing mid‑career geoscientists for research impact, leadership and mentorship across North America.
Memorial’s Gazette reports Drs. Luke Beranek and J. Kim Welford received the 50 Under 50 award from GSA, GAC and SGM. Beranek (deputy head), whose lab studies ancient sedimentary and volcanic records to reconstruct plate motions and continental margin evolution, has secured funding from NSERC, Natural Resources Canada and industry partners and supervises undergraduate and graduate research. Welford leads the Applied Geophysics for Rift Tectonics group, applies multidisciplinary seismology and potential‑field methods, and recently deployed 23 broadband seismic stations on Newfoundland through an RNCan‑funded project. Both are noted for mentorship and service to the geoscience community.
