Student Poster Awards

Submit your abstract for the Student Research Poster Competition here.

Awards are presented to students that presented posters during the student poster sessions at the annual meeting. Students need to attend the Sedimentary Geology Division business meeting and awards reception to find out if they won and to claim their award.  Awards are co-sponsored by SEPM.
