Dear Geo-Tectonics Community,
The deadline for nominations for the Ramsay Medal has been extended until end-Nov. This is when the nomination period for the Dave Johnson Mapping prize closes too.
For more information about these awards, and other TSG prizes, see my previous email (copied below).
Thank you to everyone who has already nominated individuals for these awards.
Best wishes,

Dear Geo-Tectonics Community,
Nominations for the Ramsay Medal and the Dave Johnston Undergraduate Mapping Prize are open. These prizes are awarded annually by the Tectonic Studies Group and will be announced at the annual meeting, the next of which will be 3rd-5th January 2018 at the University of Plymouth (further details to come in due course).
*The Ramsay Medal*
The prestigious Ramsay Medal is awarded to the Early Career Researcher who has been judged to have produced the best publication arising directly from their postgraduate research project. The paper must be in the field of tectonics and structural geology and been published in the 12-month period before the closing date. It must also have been written primarily by the nominee, based on their own research. The paper would preferably have also have been presented at a previous TSG-sponsored conference or event.
This year the closing date for nominations will be end of September. You can find out more about the nomination process for the Ramsay Medal on the TSG website: http://tectonicstudiesgroup.org/ramsay-medal/
If you are a member of the TSG community and you are not putting forward a nomination for the Ramsay Medal, please consider whether you would like to participate as a judge. It is preferable (but definitely not essential) that you will also attend the TSG Annual Conference in January, where the prize is announced. To maximise the judging period, I hope to have a full judging panel organised by the end of September, once the nominations are in.
*The Dave Johnston Mapping Prize*
The Dave Johnston Undergraduate Mapping Prize is awarded for the best undergraduate mapping project arising from fieldwork dissertations completed in the past two years. Nominations are open all year round. Due to an increasing number of submissions in recent years, applications are now limited to one nomination per institution.
Full information about the Dave Johnston Undergraduate Mapping Prize is available on the TSG website: http://tectonicstudiesgroup.org/dave-johnston-mapping-prize/
A nomination form is available from the TSG website and must be submitted to the TSG Secretary before November 30th 2017.
If you are a member of the TSG community and you are not putting forward a nomination for the Dave Johnston Mapping Prize, please consider whether you would like to participate as a judge. To judge the Dave Johnston Mapping Prize, you must attend the TSG Annual Conference in January, where the mapping materials (field slips, maps, notebooks) will be available for judging.
Other prizes are awarded at the annual meeting. You can find out more about TSG awards, prizes and bursaries on our website: http://tectonicstudiesgroup.org
I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the 2017 prize winners, who you can read about on the TSG news pages: http://tectonicstudiesgroup.org/news/
Finally, each award needs a panel of judges, preferably of a range of expertise and career levels. We are extremely grateful to those who have judged previous awards. If you fancy being a judge for the 2018 panel, please do get in touch with me, the TSG secretary. The sooner you get in touch with me, the better. There will be opportunity to volunteer as judges for other TSG awards when registering for the 2018 conference.
We look forward to receiving some fantastic work,
Jen Roberts
Secretary for the Tectonic Studies Group
