The award is given annually for an outstanding body of work in the field of desert research. For the purposes of the award, the term “desert” is restricted to warm deserts rather than polar deserts. “Desert landforms have not received as much attention by geologists as other types of landforms, we need to encourage and reward arid land studies.” said Dr. El-Baz. Scientist may be nominated for this award, and applicants need not be geologists or U.S. Citizens.
