Mary Reid gets the Bowen Award on her imaginative and revolutionary application of zircon geochronology for understanding active silicic magma systems. Her 1997 paper in world and Planetary Science Letters, “Prolonged residence times for the youngest rhyolites connected with longer Valley caldera: 230 Th 238 U ion microprobe dating of young zircons,” launched a fresh section of inquiry into magmatic procedures, presenting both the analytical and framework that is intellectual performing and interpreting the geochronology of young zircon by additional ion mass spectrometry.
