Conference Awards:
ISAR offers student and early career Conference Awards to provide support to students, post-doctoral scholars, and early career scientists (<10 years from PhD and not in a tenure-track or permanent position) for presenting their work at international conferences or scientific meetings that align with the Purpose of the Society, to promote the training and development of the next generation of aeolian researchers.
The applications are evaluated and ranked by the ISAR Scholarship Committee to select winner and reserve(s). The Committee may refrain from granting an award if no fitting applications are received.
A list of past winners and their post-conference reports can be found below.
