- Keiiti Aki
- William Bowie Medal - For developing the field of seismic tomography, used to understand structure, composition, and solid convective flow in the mantle; and for providing new seismological tools to study magma injection and flow and other volcanic processes in the field.
- Mervyn S. Paterson
- Walter H. Bucher Medal - For his sustained, seminal, and innovative contributions to understanding the strength and mechanical behavior of crustal materials.
- Bruce A. Warren
- Maurice Ewing Medal - For contributions to the understanding of the general circulation of the ocean, including water mass formation by sea-air interaction, deep and surface boundary currents and interior flow, planetary waves, and the impact of global integral momentum constraints on the ocean circulation.
- David Gubbins
- John Adam Fleming Medal - For his seminal contributions to geomagnetism, spanning from theoretical magnetohydrodynamics and thermodynamics to observational geomagnetism, paleomagnetism and even applied crustal magnetism.
- Adolphe Nicolas
- Harry H. Hess Medal - For his fundamental contributions to the understanding of solid earth dynamics through observations in structural geology and petrology.
- Garrison Sposito
- Robert E. Horton Medal - For his seminal and extensive contributions in establishing the physical and chemiical foundations of hydrology.
- Robin M. Canup, Daniel Sigman, David W. J. Thompson
- James B. Macelwane Medal - Recognizes significant contributions to the geophysical sciences by an outstanding young scientist.
- Inez Fung
- Roger Revelle Medal - For excellence in research contributions to the atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial disciplines, and her strong scientific leadership.
- J. Michael Hall
- Waldo E. Smith Medal - For his leadership in the field of climate sciences and for his creation of a better model for the management of scientific programs.
- Wayne Thatcher
- Charles A. Whitten Medal - For his leadership in applying geodetic techniques to understand deformation associated with the earthquake cycle leading to new insights and understanding of strain development and faulting.
- Cathryn Manduca
- Excellence in Geophysical Education Award - For more than a decade of sustained contributions that have created and supported communities of scholars in geoscience education in service to students, faculty, and the general public.
- George Tselioudis
- Charles S. Falkenberg Award - For combining substantive research contributions with an outstanding ability to communicate Earth science and its broad applications in society to the public.

- Paula S. Apsell
- Robert C. Cowen Award for Sustained Achievement in Science Journalism - For a quarter century of informing, educating, and delighting millions of viewers about science and the scientific enterprise as Senior Executive Producer of NOVA.
- Kevin Krajick
- Walter Sullivan Award for Excellence in Science Journalism - Features - For "Defusing Africa's Killer Lakes," on efforts by an international team of scientists to forestall a recurrence of the disaster in which 1800 people died following an eruption of carbon dioxide from the depths of a Cameroonian lake.
- J. Madeleine Nash
- David Perlman Award for Excellence in Science Journalism - News - For "Fireproofing the Forests," an article written under deadline pressure that describes and evaluates a controversial technique for mitigating the danger of forest fires.
