Abstract

France, Japan and the United States. Several of these groups were success-ful in instituting national scientific projects with the help of SEDI. Also, SEDI endorsed several new scientific projects, including ISOP, INTER-MAGNET, and the Canadian GGP. All these activities were a great boon for the deep-earth geoscientific community and helped these studies main-tain their visibility and viability. This success was due in large part to Ned's steady hand at the helm during SEDI's c ru ci al f o rm at iv e y ea rs . Ned received a number of honors for his scientific research and ser-vice, including NASA' s Group Achievement Award in 1983, a scholar-ship from the Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Foundation for Earth Sciences, and election as Fellow of the American Geophysical Union shortly before his untimely death. The loss of his scientific talents, leadership ability, and companionship is still felt strongly by his many colleagues.
