GSA - George Woollard Award for Geophysics

Organization: Geological Society of America

The George P. Woollard Award is given annually by the Geophysics Division to recognize individuals who have provided outstanding contributions to geology through the application of the principles and techniques of geophysics. The award is presented at the annual GSA meeting in conjunction with the Geophysics and Structural Geology and Tectonics Division business meetings. The recipient will be requested to deliver an honorary George P. Woollard Technical Lecture before the award ceremony that provides an overview and musings on his or her work. At the joint award ceremony, a citationist (usually the person who submitted the nomination) reads a written citation and the awardee reads a written response. A certificate is then awarded by the Geophysics Division. Both the citation and the response are subsequently posted on GSA's web site.
