All NEW Memoir Series!

Memoir.Flier

Beginning with the 2012 Annual Convention in Austin, Texas, the GCAGS will publish a yearly collection of formally peer-reviewed articles in a new GCAGS Memoir Series: Gulf Coast Geology.

The memoir series will focus on all geoscientic aspects of the greater Gulf of Mexico region. A hardbound memoir will be produced each year in concert with the traditional GCAGS Transactions volume, and both will be distributed at the yearly convention. An editorial board, which will serve for a 3-year term, will oversee the review process.

Each memoir will consist of 10 to 20 articles selected by the editorial board from among the most timely and signicant abstracts submitted for the Transactions each year. The volume will also contain invited papers. Like Transactions contributors, authors of memoir articles will make either an oral or poster presentation at the annual convention.

2011-2012 GCAGS SCHOLARSHIP
FUND-MATCHING PROGRAM

The GCAGS Scholarship Fund-Matching Program, which ended June 30, 2012, was a great success in helping the Affiliated Societies raise funds for their scholarship foundations. A total of $80,000 in matching funds was granted by GCAGS to the Societies’ foundations.

The GCAGS Grant Program

The GCAGS Grant Program has added a new Faculty Grant Program in addition to the Student Grant Program. The Faculty Grants will consist of two awards, one for $10,000.00 and one for $5,000.00 respectively.
The Student Grant Program remains the same with a maximum of $2,000.00 per award. Awards will be made on the basis of originality, application of geologic principles, quality and clarity of the written proposal, the relevance of the research to Gulf Coast Geology, and the merits of the applicant.
