Awards exclusively
for Students
Awards of a geological nature by other organisations
Other
The Geological Society can and does nominate members for
other awards such as those made by the Royal Society of NZ.
Contact any committee
member if you
would like GSNZ to support a nomination. Some GSNZ branches
also have their own student talk awards. Nominations
for GSNZ Awards (general
information)
The McKay Hammer is awarded to the author or authors of
the most meritorious contribution to geology published in
the previous 3 calendar years. For the purposes of the
award, a New Zealand contribution is any contribution by a
New Zealand-based author. The award shall be for one or more
publications that have not already formed the basis of the
award.
The Hochstetter Lecture shall be delivered to each
branch by a New Zealand earth scientist who is undertaking
or who has recently completed a major and as yet unpublished
study, and who has a reputation as a good, informative
speaker. Emphasis shall be on the dissemination of new
concepts or techniques, and/or of important information
which modifies existing interpretations. The topic should be
of interest to both professional and amateur audiences. The
lecturer shall be encouraged to present one or more support
lectures at each centre with a university earth science
department plus any other activity which he or she considers
appropriate.
The award shall be made to the outstanding New Zealand earth
science technician of that year, with the qualification that
no person shall be eligible to receive the award more than
once. Eligibility shall be restricted to technicians
employed in New Zealand in the field of earth sciences who
have been employed in that field for at least 2 years, who
have shown marked ability in their field of employment and
who have made a notable contribution to the work of their
institution, field team, etc. For this award, the rules
require both a nominator and a seconder and supportive
references, or an application by a candidate supported by
detailed curriculum vitae and 2 referees'
reports.
The prize shall be awarded to the author or co-authors of
the most meritorious contribution to tephrochronological
research in the New Zealand region published in the previous
3 years. Tephrochronological research shall be deemed to
include its applications in any field of science, such as
archaeology, geomorphology, oceanography, paleobotany,
petrology, soil science, stratigraphy, neotectonics, wherein
tephra studies are used to elucidate past events.
This award commemorates the huge contribution to New Zealand
geology made by the late Harold Wellman. A sum of $4,000 is
available for a geological or geophysical research project.
The award will be based on a research proposal, with
preference being given to a younger scientist. There is no
application form. The application shall be no more than
three A4 pages (typed at 12 pt size), which should include
the name and contact details (including email) of the
applicant, a brief (<100 words) summary, the proposal
itself (including a budget), and the names and contact
details of at least two referees. A 1-page CV for the
applicant should be attached. If requested, applicants
should be prepared to be interviewed. In considering
applications, preference may be given to the sort of
imaginative and innovative proposal that would have appealed
to Harold Wellman.
This commemorates the micropaleontological and stratigraphic
research of Dr N. de B. Hornibrook (1921-1994). The award
shall be made to a student enrolled for postgraduate
research at a tertiary institution in New Zealand. To be
eligible for the award, a student shall demonstrate a high
standard of competence and ability to carry out research,
with a focus on methods of stratigraphic correlation judged
to be relevant to New Zealand and the south-west
Pacific.
