2007 Awardees
- Diane E. Wickland
- Edward A. Flinn III Award — In recognition of her lifelong contributions to the international geophysical science community.
- Michael Mayhew
- Excellence in Geophysical Education Award — For significant and long lasting cultural changes in the community such that geophysical education is embraced across the discipline and the development of a community dedicated to advancing the understanding of how we teach and learn about Earth.
- Uppugunduri Aswathanarayana
- new international award — For serving science and society in less developed countries by training geoscience personnel and developing geoscience infrastructure to promote self-reliance in these countries.
- Usha Lee McFarling and Kenneth Weiss

- Betsy Mason
- David Perlman Award for Excellence in Science Journalism – News — For articles, from a series commemorating the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, that explore hazard assessments and paleoseismology to gauge threats posed by future quakes, be they as potent as the 1906 temblor or weaker but more probable events.
