The Harry Fielding Reid Medal is the senior medal of the Seismological Society of America. It is named for Harry Fielding Reid (1859–1944), an American geophysicist, who worked on earthquakes and seismology and originated the concept of elastic rebound to explain how stored energy is released in earthquakes. It was originally called The Society Medal, and is awarded annually for outstanding contributions in seismology or earthquake engineering.
