Waldemar Lindgren Award

Qualifications

The Waldemar Lindgren Award is offered annually to a young scientist whose published research represents an outstanding contribution to economic geology. The award which consists of a citation, dues-free membership in the Society, and travel to the Fall meeting for the presentation, is not restricted to the candidate's nationality, place of employment, or membership in the Society. The award is given for contributions to economic geology from any subdiscipline of geology (including, among others, structural geology, mineralogy, environmental geology, hydrology, petrology, geochemistry, stratigraphy, geophysics, and mine geology). Originally awarded for excellence in research by a student, the Lindgren Award, beginning in 1972, is awarded for research in economic geology published before the author's 35th birthday. The awardee must be less than 37 years of age on January 1 of the year in which the award is presented.

Any Society member in good standing may nominate candidates for this award. Nominees who are not selected in their first year of nomination, but are still eligible will be considered for awards in following years.
