Association of Polar Early Career Scientists

 

We are delighted to announce that the first recipients of the newly established IACS-IGS Graham Cogley Award are Carolina Aubry-Wake, University of Saskatchewan, Canada, and Eric Keenan, University of Boulder, USA, in recognition of their presentations at the IUGG General Assembly in July 2019.

The new IACS-IGS Graham Cogley Award was established in memory of Graham Cogley (Trent University, Canada) who passed away in October 2018.

The award was initiated and is generously sponsored by the Cogley family, for a period of 20 years. The award recognizes Graham’s substantial and outstanding contributions to glaciology, in particular studies of glacier mass balance, his sustained service to scientific organizations and the broader glaciological community, and his collegiality, kindness and extraordinary work ethic. The award is given annually to recognize excellence in cryospheric research by Early-Career Scientists. 

Every other year beginning in 2019 the award is given by the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) to two students to recognize an oral and a poster presentation of exceptional quality at an IACS Assembly (held every two years). 

In every other year beginning in 2020 the award is given by the International Glaciological Society (IGS) to two early career scientists who have published a paper of exceptional quality in the Journal of Glaciology or the Annals of Glaciology published by the IGS.

The shared IACS-IGS Award recognizes Graham’s outstanding service in both IACS and the IGS. For example, Graham chaired several working groups within IACS, and he served as Chief Editor of the IGS’ journals.

The awardees receive a certificate by IACS or IGS and a cash prize of CAD 500 each due to the generous support from the Cogley family.
