The Award
The Hydrogeology Division of the Geological Society of America invites nominations for the Kohout Early Career Award. This award, first presented in 2012, was generously endowed by the estate of Francis Kohout, an early pioneer in the study of geothermal saltwater convection in carbonate platforms. The award will be presented to a distinguished early career scientist (35 years of age or younger throughout the year in which the award is to be presented or within 5 years of receiving their highest degree or diploma) for outstanding achievement in contributing to the hydrogeologic profession through original research and service, and for the demonstrated potential for continued excellence throughout their career. The nominee does not have to be a member of GSA or hold a PhD. Nominations are encouraged from any subdiscipline in hydrogeology.

Nominations for the Kohout Award must include one letter of nomination describing the significant contributions or accomplishments constituting the basis for the nomination and a copy of the nominee’s curriculum vitae with complete bibliography. Supporting letters that add meaningfully to the nomination may also be included. Nominations should not be revealed to anyone other than those providing supporting letters and the Award Committee, including the nominee. Nominations should be sent to gsa.hydro.nominations@gmail.com.
