Brunton Award

Description

The AWG Brunton Award promotes the future of field mapping and data acquisition for the upcoming generation of people whose gender identity has been historically underrepresented in the geosciences. Applicants should have a passion for and exceptional experience with field work, and awardees will receive a Brunton compass. Applicants must be advanced undergraduate or graduate students (any year) in the geosciences whose gender identity has been historically underrepresented in the geosciences. They should have performed field work as an essential component of undergraduate or graduate research, internship, field camp, or other type of field project; virtual field studies (e.g. satellite data, drone mapping) completed during the pandemic will be considered. Applicants must have future plans to continue in the geosciences, with fieldwork as an integral part of their graduate degree or career. They must demonstrate the fundamental value and need for field-based studies within the geoscience profession through project results and quality of work. Applicants must submit samples of past or ongoing field work research, which may include a report, map, photos, and/or model based on collected data. Please visit the award's website or contact the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) for more information.
