MARGINS Prize for Outstanding Student Poster and Oral Presentations

Application Deadline: November 20, 2009


The MARGINS Office and Steering Committee are offering $500 prizes for 
two Outstanding Student Presentations on MARGINS-related science at the 
AGU Fall Meeting, December 14-18, 2009 in San Francisco. The two prizes, 
one for a poster presentation and one for an oral presentation, will be 
awarded to highlight the important role of student research in 
accomplishing MARGINS-related science goals, and to encourage 
cross-disciplinary input.  Any student working on science themes related 
to the objectives of the MARGINS program is eligible to participate. 
Students do not have to be working on a MARGINS-funded project in order 
to enter the competition. Students from the international community as 
well as those from the U.S. are encouraged to apply.

Posters and talks will be judged throughout the AGU meeting. Students 
have an additional opportunity to display their posters during  the 
MARGINS Student and Community Forum at 6pm, Tuesday, December 15th in 
the Westin Hotel Metropolitan-3 Room.

The MARGINS Student Prize winners and any honorable mentions will be 
notified after the AGU Fall Meeting, and will be highlighted in the 
MARGINS newsletter and website, including notification to the host 
schools of their achievement.
