Nominations for the Danie Krige Medal Award 2016
Daniel Gerhardus Krige (26 August 1919 – 3 March 2013), one of South Africa's most influential mining engineers and geo-statistician of international repute, passed away in 2013.)
 
In honour of Prof Krige, the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) will be awarding the Danie Krige Medal Award annually to the author (or co-authors) of the best geostatistical paper published in the previous calendar year. The Danie Krige Medal will comprise a 9ct gold medal. Accordingly SAIMM members are invited to nominate papers for consideration on an annual basis. The following criteria are applicable to the award:
  1. Papers on theoretical or applied geostatistics are eligible;
  2. The papers must have been published in the Journal of the SAIMM in the preceding calendar year;
  3. Nominations for the award may be made by a member of the SAIMM (who is not an author);
  4. Only one paper, or one series of papers on a topic by the same author, per year, will qualify for the award;
  5. No award will be made if none of the papers in a given year meet the minimum standards of the Danie Krige Medal committee. In evaluating papers the committee will use the following criteria and apply their professional judgment:   
  • The impact and contribution to knowledge of the paper in its specific field;
  • How innovative are the ideas or techniques described in the paper;
  • The relevance of the problem being addressed, and
  • How well the paper is written (language, structure, supporting figure etc.);         
  1. The decision of the Danie Krige Medal Committee on the award of the medal will be final; and
  2. Award of a Danie Krige Medal excludes the winning paper from consideration for any other SAIMM publications awards i.e. the SAIMM Gold and Silver medals for Journal papers.
