AGS Awards

AGS is a such a great success because of its wonderful volunteer members. There are many folks that contribute to the success of the society and periodically we like to acknowledge some of the people that make it all happen. This year AGS recognized three folks for their outstanding contributions.

For their continued efforts in outreach and education at all levels of the public Sigrid Clift and John Mikels were given the AGS Public Service Award. We can't thank them enough for their efforts to realize one of the purposes of the society--educating the public about the geosciences.

AGS publishes field guidebooks that are maintained and sold at the Bureau of Economic Geology. Those publications serve as a wealth of geologic knowledge and a source of revenue for the society. Steve Ruppel has managed these numerous publications for many years now. Thanks Steve for all your work!
