Medaglia Wollaston

La medaglia Wollaston è un riconoscimento scientifico conferito in ambito geologico. È la più alta distinzione conferita annualmente dalla Geological Society of London a uno studioso che si sia particolarmente distinto nelle Scienze della Terra.

La medaglia ricorda nel nome William Hyde Wollaston, il segretario della Royal Society che ha istituito il riconoscimento nel 1831. Originariamente la medaglia era in palladio, il metallo scoperto da Wollaston.
