the history or philosophy of geology; (2) a literature review of
ideas for a technical work or thesis/dissertation; or (3) some imag-
inative aspect of the history or philosophy of geology we have not
thought of before. The award is open to all students regardless of
discipline, provided the proposed paper is related to the history or
philosophy of a geological idea/person/etc. After the applications

cheon. If there are multiple authors, the cash award will be
presented to the senior author, and further distribution is up to that ued contributions to the profession. How to nominate: Include at
