This summer, Marcos was awarded the “Professor Juan Brüggen Medal of Merit” from the College of Geologists of Chile: "In recognition of his outstanding and extensive academic career, his scientific publications and the awards obtained, both in Canada and in Chile." It is the highest honor, and restricted to Chileans. Brüggen was a German professor at the university of Chile, a pioneer of Chilean geology (1887-1953). His thank you speech was delivered over Zoom on September 29. The contents, translated from the Spanish by our alumnus Thomas Mulja (BSc Dal, PhD McGill), are shared below:
