About the EAGE “Marie Tharp” Award

In 2024 EAGE introduced a new recognition: the Sustainable Energy YP Award “Marie Tharp”. For this category, we encourage direct nominations by promising and creative talents among the next generation of energy transition leaders: candidates who meet the requirements can nominate themselves.

Eligible candidates must be MSc and Ph.D. students under 35 years of age who are pursuing a college curriculum directed toward a career in geoscience and engineering to support the energy transition. Recognizing the multidimensional nature of the challenge, the Award encourages applications from a diverse range of disciplines. 

The awardee will receive a grant to attend the EAGE 2025 GET Conference. Participation in the conference will not only serve to recognize their contributions but also provide an invaluable opportunity to network with industry experts, gain insights into the latest advancements, and further fuel their passion for driving positive change in the energy transition landscape.

 

 

 

Best Paper Awards

The 8 Best Paper Award categories represent some of the best works published in EAGE journals and presented at the EAGE Annual Conference. The papers considered for these prestigious recognitions are shortlisted by the respective Editorial Boards, with the coordination of the EAGE Publications Officer, and by the Annual Technical Programme Committee, with the coordination of the EAGE Technical Programme Officer.
