Best Paper Award 2019

© International Association for Mathematical Geosciences 2020

1 Introduction Mathematical Geosciences is fortunate to publish many excellent papers every year. As a result, the selection process for the Best Paper Award is always a challenging undertaking. This award recognizes the authors who enable the journal to flourish, as well as the research that has helped advance the profession and push the boundaries of knowledge in the field. It is with great pleasure that we announce the winner of the Best Paper Award 2019 to be: “Surface-Based Geological Reservoir Modelling Using Grid-Free NURBS Curves and Surfaces,” Volume 51(1): 1–28 By Carl Jacquemyn, Matthew D. Jackson and Gary J. Hampson

2 Congratulations to the authors! Carl Jacquemyn is a Research Fellow in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London. His main area of research focuses on innovative methods and tools for geomodelling and subsurface flow behaviour, of which this paper is a prime example. This includes different aspects of quantitative geology, three-dimensional outcrop modelling and uncertainty workflows and has applications across many fields, from production and management of natural resources (water, heat, HC etc.) to subsurface storage of energy or carbon. Furthermore, he has an interest in diagenesis, how it impacts rock properties and flow, but also unrav-

elling diagenetic history. Carl holds an M.Sc. degree in geotechnical and mining engineering from KU Leuven (Belgium), and a Ph.D. in geology, also from KU Leuven. Matthew D. Jackson is Professor in Geological Fluid Mechanics in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London. He holds a B.Sc. degree in Physics from Imperial College London and a Ph.D. in Geological Fluid Mechanics from the University of Liverpool. His research interests lie in the development and application of advanced methods to model and monitor fluid flow in subsurface reservoirs. He is Head of the Novel Reservoir Monitoring and Simulation (NORMS) group and Director of Research for the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles, served as an AAPG Distinguished Lecturer in 2011 and received the Norman Falcon Award of the EAGE in 2015.

Gary J. Hampson is Professor of Sedimentary Geology in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London. He holds a B.A. degree in natural sciences from the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D. in sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy from the University of Liverpool. His research interests lie in the understanding of depositional systems and their preserved stratigraphy, and in applying this knowledge to characterization of sedimentary rocks and fluid flow in the subsurface. Gary is currently Director of the internationally renowned Petroleum Geoscience M.Sc. course at Imperial College London (since 2013), and was a Distinguished Lecturer for the Amer
