Denton, Andrews, Porter Glacial Geology Award
The Denton, Andrews, Porter Glacial Geology Award was established in 2020 in honor of the initial primary donor’s academic advisors: George H. Denton, John T. Andrews, and Stephen C. Porter.
Support is provided for graduate or undergraduate research in the areas of glacial geology, including glaciology, glacial geomorphology, glacial chronology, or a related field, such as paleoclimatology or climate change.
How to Apply for the DAP Glacial Geology Award
Applications are done via the student research grant program run by GSA. Any research grant application that has “Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology” selected as the General Field of Research Project will be automatically eligible for consideration for our awards. PLEASE NOTE that a single application can be simultaneously considered for multiple awards.
THE APPLICATION PROCEDURES ARE http://www.geosociety.org/gradgrants
Application deadline for all student awards is the same as the GSA Graduate Student Research Grant deadline.
