Dear Colleagues,
Please encourage your students who are attending and presenting as first author at the 2012 LPSC meeting in The Woodlands, Texas, to consider applying for the 2012 Stephen E. Dwornik Award for the best student presentations. Awards are given for both oral and poster presentations, with separate awards for graduate ($500 plus plaque) and undergraduate students ($250 plus plaque).
For the first time, GSA-PGD is pleased to announce that foreign students enrolled in U.S. educational institutions are eligible to apply for the Dwornik Award. The application deadline is January 11, 2012 (the day AFTER the LPSC abstract deadline).
Please see the application criteria and instructions on the GSA-PGD website at http://rock.geosociety.org/pgd/awards.html#_dwornik
