AAG Lifetime Achievement Honors Award

Eligibility

AAG Lifetime Achievement Honors Award, with an application deadline in September, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

The AAG Lifetime Achievement Honors Award celebrates those geographers who have had a unique and path-breaking impact on the discipline through a combination of research and public engagement, perhaps as leaders in academia or other sectors where they have championed the discipline, in their publication record, and in their service to the discipline. Recipients of the AAG Lifetime Achievement Honors demonstrate excellence across the range of honor categories and in the significance of their contributions. Nomination dossiers must have at least 3 and not more than 5 letters of support documenting the nominee's contributions to and impact on geography in the specific Honors category for which they are being nominated, and must also include the candidate's CV. Efforts to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the discipline need to be addressed in the nomination letters. Self-nominations are allowed, but must include the required letters of support.
