ESA - George Mercer Award

Organization: Ecological Society of America

The Mercer Award is given for an outstanding ecological research paper published by a younger researcher (the lead author must be 40 years of age or younger at the time of publication). If the award is given for a paper with multiple authors, all authors will receive a plaque, and those 40 years of age or younger at the time of publication will share the monetary prize. The paper must have been published in previous two years to be eligible for the current year's award. Nominees may be from any country and need not be ESA members.
