Description
The Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG) Professional Excellence Awards honor women who have made significant and distinguished contributions throughout their careers. Recognition spans three professional areas: Government/Regulatory, Industry/Consulting, and Academia/Research.
The program focuses on career-long professional excellence, rather than funding a specified research study, scientific project, or proposed program of work. It is part of AWG’s scholarships and awards offerings and uses a nomination process. Its purpose is to acknowledge distinguished professional contributions across these three areas of geoscience practice and research.
