Description
This award supports graduate student research at the intersection of structural geology and diagenetic processes in sedimentary rocks, a field known as structural diagenesis. The program is a collaboration between the Structural Geology and Tectonics Division and the Sedimentary Geology Division of the Geological Society of America (GSA). The aim is to foster innovative research that advances understanding of how deformation and diagenetic processes interact in sedimentary environments.
