| Citation | Donald Dingwell has established the experimental investigation of the properties and behaviour of magma as a vital component of the earth sciences. He has led the transformation of petrology and volcanology into disciplines where the principles of physicochemical materials are routinely applied, yielding great advances in our understanding of the role of melting in the evolution of the earth and terrestrial planets; the enrichments of chemical elements to economic levels in major ore deposits; the interpretation and guidance of monitoring of active volcanic systems; and the fundamental physical chemistry of the liquid state as viewed from high temperature silicate melts.Donald Dingwell has established the experimental investigation of the properties and behaviour of magma as a vital component of the earth sciences.
