AAG AWARDS & GRANTS

Recognizing outstanding contributions to the field of geography

The AAG is proud to honor those geographers who advance our discipline through their hard work and brilliant insights. Each year, the AAG—along with many of its Specialty and Affinity groups—confers awards, prizes, and other recognition on geographers whose research, teaching, service, and mentorship constitute a valuable contribution to the wider community. In this way, we hope to applaud our members for their outstanding dedication, and draw attention to important developments in the field.
