All your comments are very much appreciated - I continue to be flabbergasted by this.
One thing that especially pleases me is that it's a bit of flag-waving for geology!

This is great, congratulations! I'm looking at the list of past winners which includes Aldo Leopold's "Sand County Almanac" and Peter Mathiessen's "Sand Rivers" as well as John McPhee's "The Control of Nature." You are in distinguished company.

Just came across this by John Burroughs, which seems pertinent:
"Blessed is the man who has some congenial work, some occupation in which he can put his heart, and which affords a complete outlet to all the forces there are in him."
