Roland Goldring Award
This award recognises a noteworthy contribution to any field of sedimentology.
Nominees must be within ten years (full time equivalent) of the commencement of their research career.
Any career break will be subtracted from the total time spent in the research. Historically this award has recognised only noteworthy published research. We now encourage nominees that have made any noteworthy contribution to the field of sedimentology.
Harold Reading Medal
This medal is presented to the most influential and/or outstanding publication by a current or recent postgraduate student (normally within 2 years of doctoral award) from their PhD project in the field of sedimentology.
It is expected that this PhD research will have been presented at the BSRG AGM but this is not a strict criterion for nomination.
The Awards Committee do not take metrics such as Journal Impact Factor into account when assessing the submissions.
