Student Papers Due Friday, October 14, for the 2017 Sediments Conference.

This Friday, October 14, is the due date for papers for the Student Paper Competitionbeing conducted at the 2017 Sediments Conference.

Benefits. The primary author of each winning paper will receive:

·         A complimentary, nontransferable conference registration

·         A cash award to assist with travel costs

·         Placement in the program as a poster or platform presentation (if not already placed as a result of having submitted an abstract in response to the Call for Abstracts)

·         Award of commemorative plaque during the Plenary Session

·         Opportunity to include the paper in the proceedings, if desired

Eligibility. The primary author must be a full-time student at the time the paper is submitted.

A student who already has submitted an abstract to be considered for the conference program may also submit a paper for the competition, on either the same or a different topic.

Scope and Review Criteria. Papers may be submitted on any topic within the general scope of the conference. Review criteria will include originality of the research, thoroughness of the technical approach, validity of data interpretation, readability, and relevance to the overall scope of the conference.
