British Society for Geomorphology (BSG) undergraduate prizes
The British Society for Geomorphology (BSG) awards three prizes recognising papers and talks in the field of geomorphology.
The Dick Chorley Award
The Dick Chorley Award is made for a published paper based on PhD research, where the nominee is expected to be the first author. Nominees should be within 4 years of their PhD award at the time of nomination.
The winner will receive a Medal and is invited to present the Dick Chorley Lecture, which is one of the central elements of the BSG Annual General Meeting.
The Mike Kirkby Award
The Mike Kirkby award is given to the best paper published in the BSG’s Journal Earth Surface Processes and Landforms (ESPL), as decided by the ESPL editorial board.
The paper is selected from the volume of the journal for the year previous to the Award.
The Bernie Smith Award for Best Postgraduate Poster and Talk
Bernie Smith’s enduring impact on geomorphology is evident through the post-graduate students he mentored and inspired.
In tribute to Bernie’s dedication to fostering the discipline’s future, the BSG has chosen to commemorate his legacy by establishing the Bernie Smith Postgraduate Award linked to the BSG Annual General Meeting every year.
