During its 141st meeting, held in Chicago in June, the Acoustical Society of America presented awards to three individuals. Herman Medwin received the 2001 Gold Medal, ASA's highest honor, for his "innovative research in ocean acoustics and leadership and service to the society." Medwin is an emeritus professor of physics at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and founder and CEO of Ocean Acoustics Associates in Pebble Beach, California.

The R. Bruce Lindsay Award went this year to Andrew J. Oxenham for "contributions to the measurement of peripheral auditory nonlinearity, and to understanding its effects in normal and hearing-impaired listeners." Oxenham is a research scientist in the sensory communications group at MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics.

The Helmholtz-Rayleigh Interdisciplinary Silver Medal was awarded to William M. Hartmann, a professor of physics at Michigan State University, for his "research and education in psychological and physiological acoustics, architectural acoustics, musical acoustics, and signal processing."
