The 2009 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Earth and Environmental Science is presented to J. Frederick Grassle for pioneering research leading to our understanding of the unique ecosystems near volcanic vents at the sea floor, the first ever found fueled by chemical energy from the Earth's interior instead of sunlight.
I find amazing what a single person can archive. Congratulations to him.
