The British Society for Geomorphology (BSG) - Marjorie Sweeting Dissertation Prize

The British Society for Geomorphology (BSG) - Marjorie Sweeting Dissertation Prize

This prize is awarded to the best undergraduate dissertation that focuses on ‘Geomorphology’ undertaken at a UK university. Entries are invited for this annual competition. The award (£200 plus funded attendance at the BSG Annual Conference) is presented to the successful nominee at the Annual General Meeting, the details of which are available from the BSG website.

The agreed guidelines for assessment are as follows:

Subject area: the field of geomorphology: earth surface processes, and the erosion, deposition and formation of landforms and sediments. Foci can include the physical geography of river, valley, glacier, mountain, hillslope, coast, desert and estuary environments; alongside responses to Holocene, Quaternary and other long term environmental changes.

Originality: The project should be an independent study, originated by the student. In particular, it should not be linked to a funded research programme, nor exhibit undue influence of or similarity to the supervisor’s known and published work.

Submissions to: Dr Hywel Griffiths (hmg@aber.ac.uk)
