Description
The Kerry Kelts Research Award is a specialized research grant offered by the Limnogeology group within the Geological Society of America (GSA). It is dedicated to supporting graduate student research focused on limnogeology—the geology of lakes and related environments. The award aims to advance scientific understanding in this field by funding innovative graduate-level research projects that explore the geological processes, history, and dynamics of lake systems.
