About the Early Career Geologist Award

To recognise the work of geoscientists in the early stages of their careers, the Geological Society runs the Early Career Geologist award. This competition is open to all Fellows with less than 10 years post graduate experience, who are working towards Chartership. 

Taking part is a great way to enhance your communication skills and demonstrate your understanding of a particular geological topic to an audience.
