The GSA Geobiology and Geomicrobiology division recognizes three exceptional researchers to receive pre-tenure, post-tenure, and distinguished career awards (or equivalent career stage in a non-tenure track position) each year. We (your Geobiology and Geomicrobiology Division Representatives) request nominations from our members to ensure a diverse and inclusive nominee pool, both in terms of academic fields and demographics. We also hope this process allows our members to feel involved and empowered to nominate the people who have made a difference to them or their (sub)field. Final nominees will be selected by the GBGM division representation committee from amongst this pool, and awarded based on the nominee’s complete portfolio (research, mentoring, service, and leadership). For details on past awards, see the GBGM website.
Nomination Form
Please note that you must confirm that the person you are nominating has not breached GSA's Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct and that they are not under investigation for any action that would be a breach of GSA's Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct.
We are grateful for your participation in this process - we know that your time is valuable, but this is one of the most important things the division does. Please submit your nominations by Saturday, February 15th, 2025 here.
Trinity, Dylan, Ana, Katie, Lydia, Brandt, and Lucy (your Geobiology and Geomicrobiology Division Representatives)
