Graduate Student Paper Awards

Each year, the GSG Awards Committee invites graduate students to participate in the specialty group's Student Paper Award competition at the Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers. Graduate students from all branches of geomorphology are encouraged to submit an application and present a paper. Separate awards of $250 can be given for Masters and Ph.D. students.

Students must be members of the AAG and the Geomorphology Specialty Group (GSG) to be eligible for the award. Applicants for the student paper competition will be placed into special sessions organized specifically for the competition. The GSG Awards Committee will evaluate the presentations, which may deal with any aspect of geomorphology. Papers are evaluated on the research contribution to the field of geomorphology and on the effectiveness of the presentation. The award will be presented at the Geomorphology Specialty Group business meeting and at the AAG Awards Banquet.

Students must register for the meeting and submit their abstract online at the AAG website. After receiving a participant number (PIN) from the AAG, mail (preferred) or email your application package to the Chair of the GSG Awards Committee. Your application package must include:

a cover letter indicating PIN and graduate degree status
three copies of the 250 word abstract submitted to the AAG
three copies of an 800-1000 word extended abstract

To be considered for the 2010 award, the Awards Committee must receive these materials and any supporting documentation by November 16, 2010.
