Dear Geochemists, 

We are forwarding a reminder on behalf of the Geological Society that the closing date to nominate for the Geological Society 2025 awards is Monday 14 October 2024.

Nominations can be for all award categories from early career awards to career achievement medallists and this year the biennial Aberconway medal recognising distinction in the practice of applied or economic geoscience with special reference to work in industry will be awarded. Here is the Awards, Medals and Funds brochure with further information on the website. 

In regards the Geological Society's Early Career Funds and President Award, the Awards Committee has been revising the wording of the descriptors on the website to make them more inclusive of all potential candidates falling under the early career category. The wording will be updated for future award cycles but in the meantime, the nomination form is updated to include an additional box where the nominator can give a brief statement as to why the candidate is "early career" to indicate some flex with regards the current descriptors.

Please email the Committee's secretary awards@geolsoc.org.uk should you have any questions in regards nominations.

Best wishes

George
