Earthquake
Paul Hoffman wins Kyoto Prize for earth research
Paul Hoffman has been steadfast in his explorations of hypotheses that other scientists have ignored. Despite backlash against his research at various times throughout his career, the geologist and adjunct professor in UVic鈥檚 School of Earth and Ocean Sciences has made groundbreaking achievements regarding global freezing and plate tectonics in the deep past. On June 14, 2024, Hoffman was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Basic Sciences by the Inamori Foundation for his profound influence on our understanding of Earth鈥檚 early history.
