Geologic Map Day Contest
Geologic Map Contest
Invites College Students
As part of Geologic Map Day (October 18) and Earth Science Week (October 13-19), the U.S. Geological Survey invites university-level students to enter its 2013 Best Student Geologic Map Competition. The contest will be judged at the Geological Society of America’s Annual Meeting in Denver, October 27-30. While judges select three winners, students will network and share their experiences and techniques.
The competition is open to any student earning a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. degree who has created a geologic map through recent field work. Winning students will be recognized at the meeting, receive field tools such as a Brunton compass or rock hammer, and get an opportunity to publish their maps in the student edition of the “Journal of Maps.”
To be considered, students should contact the official U.S. Geological Survey representative by September 6. To learn more, visit Student Map Competition.
