Английская Википедия:German Mineralogical Society
Шаблон:More citations needed The German Mineralogical Society (Deutsche Mineralogische Gesellschaft, or DMG, in German) is a non-profit German society for the promotion of mineralogy. It has about 1400 members (2021) and belongs to the International Mineralogical Association and the umbrella organization for geosciences. It was founded at the meeting of German natural scientists and physicians in Cologne in 1908 based on a proposal by Friedrich Martin Berwerth at the 1907 meeting in Dresden.
The current chairman (2021-2022) is the geochemist Friedhelm von Blanckenburg.
Organization structure
The DMG has the sections:
- Applied mineralogy: systematics, properties of minerals; Organic, clay mineralogy, gemology
- Crystallography: Research into the atomic structure and properties of inorganic and organic crystals (structural research, crystal chemistry, crystal physics, crystal growth and growth)
- Geochemistry: distribution laws, frequency and mobility of chemical elements in the Earth, the seas, the atmosphere and in space (analytical, experimental, theoretical, applied, environmental geochemistry)
- Petrology and petrophysics: Formation, origin and transformation of rocks; Investigations and syntheses under simulated conditions of the Earth's interior (experimental petrology), structural investigations
Besides, the DMG has the working groups Archaeometry and Monument Preservation, Raw Materials Research, Mineralogical Museums and Collections and Mineralogy in Schools and Universities.[1]
Awards and prizes
The DMG awards prizes[2]
- Abraham Gottlob Werner Medal in silver and gold
- Victor Moritz Goldschmidt Prize for young scientists
- Georg Agricola Medal in applied mineralogy
- Paul Ramdohr Prize for young scientists
- Beate Mocek Prize for young female scientists
The DMG publishes multiple journals with other societies, including European Journal of Mineralogy[3] along with the Italian and French mineralogical societies, and the magazine Elements,[4] along with 18 other geochemical, cosmochemical and mineralogical societies.
