Award made for distinguished research in environmental physics
Award
The Edward Appleton Medal and Prize is awarded by the Institute of Physics for distinguished research in environmental , earth or atmospheric physics . Originally named after Charles Chree ,[ 1] the British physicist and former President of the Physical Society of London , it was renamed in 2008 to commemorate Edward Victor Appleton , winner of the Nobel Prize for proving the existence of the ionosphere.[ 1]
History
The prize was established in 1941 by Chree's sister, Jessie, after his death, and it was originally awarded biennially.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] It was first awarded to Sydney Chapman . From 2001 it was awarded annually. After the 2008 renaming the prize was awarded in even-dated years until 2016, then as and when required.
The cash prize part of the award has risen in value since its inception, reported at £150 in 1985[ 5] and £300 in 1987,[ 6] to its present-day value of £1000.[ 1]
