2005 AWG Brunton Award
Margaret (Maggie) R. Kendall
AWG is pleased to announce that Margaret (Maggie) R. Kendall is the 2005 Brunton Award Winner. Maggie is a senior at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN with a dual major in geology and environmental studies. She has been working with her field mentor, Kevin Theissen, studying climate changes and fluctuations in Tierra del Fuego, South America. She wrote a research proposal to support her travel and research time to collect core samples from a small lake in Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia (and remember she’s still an undergraduate student!). Her advisor notes that “she is bound for great things and I think that her accomplishments as a field researcher and a person make her someone who will put a very positive light on the Association for Women Geoscientists”. We couldn’t agree more!
It should be noted that it was a difficult choice, as we received applications from four other extremely qualified young women. We would like to congratulate them all by offering them a one year membership in AWG in hopes that they will continue to be leaders in our field.
The AWG Brunton Award promotes the future of field mapping and data acquisition for the upcoming generation of women geoscientists. It is awarded to a female geoscience student at the senior level or beginning their graduate studies who has been a summer intern, excelled at field camp, or performed field data collection that will lead to a senior or graduate thesis.
