Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the Minerals 2021 Young Investigator Award is Dr. Antony Burnham.

Dr. Antony Burnham completed his PhD at Imperial College London, working on the redox behaviour of Ce and Eu in magmas and in zircon. Following a postdoc at Bristol University, where he studied superdeep diamonds, he moved to the Australian National University in 2014 to work on trace element partitioning and, more recently, geochronology.

As the awardee, Dr. Antony Burnham will receive an honorarium of CHF 2000, an offer to publish a paper free of charge in Minerals after peer-review, and an engraved plaque.

We would like to thank all nominators from various fields of study for their participation and all Award Committee Members for their evaluation of the abundant quantity of excellent nominations.

Kind regards,
Minerals 2021 Young Investigator Evaluation Committee
