Summary

The Natural Resources Research (NRR) Student Awards support early career scientists, including Masters, Doctoral candidates, and Post-Doctoral researchers, in natural resources exploration and management. With an annual budget of US$5,000, the awards encourage quantitative research projects aligned with the Aims & Scope of the IAMG-sponsored journal, Natural Resources Research. Eligible candidates must be actively engaged in research related to the exploration, assessment, or utilization of various natural resources.

Overview

At most two Natural Resources Research (NRR) Student Awards will be awarded every year, to early career scientists (postgraduate students, i.e. Masters or Doctoral candidates, or Post-Doctoral researchers) working in the field of natural resources exploration and management. The total annual budget for these awards is US$5,000. Research projects should lie within the Aims & Scope of the IAMG-sponsored journal Natural Resources Research. The NRR Student Awards are intended to encourage graduate students and post-docs working on quantitative approaches in the fields of exploration, assessment, extraction and utilization of a wide variety of natural resources. Natural Resources Research JournalThis journal publishes quantitative studies of natural (mainly but not limited to mineral) resources exploration, evaluation and exploitation, including environmental and risk-related aspects. Typical articles use geoscientific data or analyses to assess, test, or compare resource-related aspects. NRR covers a wide variety of resources including minerals, coal, hydrocarbon, geothermal, water, and vegetation. Case studies are welcome.
