Dear Subscribers,

It is with enormous pleasure that I am sharing this wonderful news with you
all that Professor David Montgomery (photo attached) has been awarded the
prestigious Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography’s (SSAG) Vega
Medal 2020  for his profound contributions to physical geography,
especially within the field of geomorphology.

The plan was that the Medal would have been given to David the King of
Sweden at a ceremony at the Royal Castle in Stockholm on 23 April 2020. In
connection with this, SSAG had organized the Vega Symposium with David
Montgomery on the theme: “Soil and Civilization: Sustaining Farming for the
Future” to be held the same day.

At the symposium, several presentations were to be made by David and his
colleagues.

Unfortunately, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the ceremony and the
symposium have had to be postponed.

Please find attached the press release on the award of the Vega medal and
the details of the symposium for your kind information.

Warmest congratulations to Professor Montgomery for this extraordinary
recognition!
