FYI: Nominations Due for William L. Garrison Award for Best Dissertation in Computational Geography When: September 2, 2012
Info: http://www.aag.org/cs/garrison The biannual William L. Garrison Award for Best Dissertation in Computational Geography supports innovative research into the computational aspects of geographic science. The award is intended to arouse a more general and deeper understanding of the important role that advanced computation can play in resolving the complex problems of space–time analysis that are at the core of geographic science. The award is one of the activities of the Marble Fund for Geographic Science of the Association of American Geographers (AAG). The Garrison award consists of a cash prize in the amount of $3,500 and a formal certificate of merit. The formal presentation of the Garrison Award will take place at the annual meeting of the AAG following the announcement of the award. If they so choose, the Trustees of the Marble Fund may elect to award one or more additional certificates of merit to non-awardee finalists whose work is, in their judgment, of exceptional merit. All nomination materials must be received no later than the close of business on September 2, 2012 to be considered in the current competition. http://www.aag.org/cs/events/event_detail?eventId=436 Randall W Jackson, Director Regional Research Institute, WVU Professor of Geology and Geography 886 Chestnut Ridge Rd.
