Career Contribution Award -- Deadline
for nominations - February
28, 2007
This award will be given for
the 20th time in 2007. It
is awarded to an individual who throughout his/her career has made numerous
distinguished contributions that have clearly advanced the science of
structural geology or tectonics. Nominees need not be citizens or
residents of the United States, and membership in the Geological Society of
America is not required. The Career Contribution Award cannot be given
posthumously, unless the decision to give it was made before the death of the
awardee. A list of past awardees is provided below.
Nominations should include
the following information:
• Name of nominee, present institutional affiliation and address.
• Summary statement of nominee's major career contributions to the
science of structural geology and tectonics.
• Selected key published works of the nominee.
• Name and address of nominator.

Best Paper Award -- Deadline
for nominations – April 30, 2007
This award is given annually for a published work (paper,
book, or map) of exceptional distinction that clearly advances the science of
structural geology or tectonics. Papers eligible for the award must have
been published within five years prior to the year of the award. Hence,
papers published during the years 2002-2006 are eligible for the 2007
award. The Best Paper Award is not limited to members of the Division or
the Society, and awardees may be single or multiple authors, with no
restrictions as to nationality, citizenship, publisher or publishing
agency. A list of past awardees is provided below.
The award committee depends
on participation by the membership of GSA and of the Division to make this a
successful the award, so please take a few minutes to give your favorite papers
some thought and nominate one that you think is outstanding. Nominations
remaining from previous years will be reconsidered by the committee on a yearly
basis until they are older than the allowable publication date.
Nominations should include
the following information:
• A full citation: author[s], title, date, journal or book (with
publisher), volume number, and page numbers.
• Statement in support of nomination (particularly comment on the
exceptional achievement or significance of the publication; additional
supporting material such as letters, published discussions, or reviews may be
included).
• Name and address of nominator.
