On behalf of Phil Resor, SGTD OPA Committee

Requesting nominations for the 2025 Outstanding Publication Award of the Structural Geology & Tectonics Division of the GSA

Dear colleagues –

I am writing to request nominations for the 2025 Outstanding Publication Award for the Structural Geology & Tectonics Division of the Geological Society of America.

Congratulations again to last year's winner:

Van Hinsbergen, D.J.J., Lippert, P.C., Dupont-Nivet, G., McQuarrie, N., Doubrovine, P.V., Spakman, W., and Torsvik, T.H., 2012, Greater India Basin hypothesis and a two-stage Cenozoic collision between India and Asia, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, v. 109(20), p. 7659-7664.

The Outstanding Publication Award is given annually for a published work (paper, book, or map) of exceptional distinction that clearly advances the science of structural geology or tectonics. This award is not limited to members of the Division or the Society, and awardees may be single or multiple authors, with no restrictions as to nationality, citizenship, publisher, or publishing agency. The award may not be given posthumously unless the decision to give the award is made before the death of the awardee(s).

This award is important because it serves to recognize exceptional science and creativity while also inspiring others. The nomination process is simple and comprises three components:
  1. A full citation.
  2. Nomination (as short as a paragraph; letters or reviews may also be included). Nominations might address these questions:
    • Why is the publication exceptional?
    • How has the contribution changed your work?
    • What are specific advances made by the publication?
    • How has the work influenced the work of others?
  3. Name and address of nominator.
    Nominations are due on March 1st, 2025. Please send nominations (or questions) to me at: presor@wesleyan.edu

    More information on the Outstanding Publication Award, including a list of past winners, can be found on the SGT Division webpage.

    Thank you,

    Phil Resor (Chair, Wesleyan University)
    Julie Fosdick (Committee member, University of Connecticut)
    Pete Lippert (Committee member, University of Utah)
