GK Gilbert Award for Excellence in Geomorphic Research

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The GK Gilbert Award for Excellence in Geomorphic Research by the Geomorphology Specialty Group (GSG) of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) is given for achievements in geomorphology . It is named after Grove Karl Gilbert , a pioneer in geomorphology in the United States.

It is the most prestigious award for research in geomorphology from the AAG, the professional association of American geographers. Another prestigious award for geomorphology in the US is the Kirk Bryan Award from the Geological Society of America (GSA), which also has a specialty group in geomorphology (and quaternary geology).

There is also the GK Gilbert Award for planetary geology. It should not be confused with the Geophysics Prize of the American Geophysical Union ( William Gilbert Award ) named after William Gilbert .
