The PA Council of Professional Geologists is now accepting entries to their 2022 Undergraduate Student Research Poster Session and Competition.  The deadline for entries is March 16.

Students pursuing undergraduate degrees in the geosciences at colleges and universities located within Pennsylvania, and contiguous states, are eligible.

The poster session will be held during PCPG’s Annual General Membership Meeting on April 13, 2022, at the Central Hotel & Conference Center in Harrisburg.

PCPG hosts this event as part of the organization’s efforts to more fully engage with geoscience students studying at universities and colleges.

Presenting a poster at the event is a tremendous opportunity to directly interact with individuals and companies that provide geoscience services throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding states.

Our members include consultants, oil and gas geoscientists, university professors, regulators, and others.

The posters must be illustrative of research performed and presented by the entrant with oversight by their advisor.

The poster topic shall generally fall within the disciplines of the geosciences (geology, geochemistry, geophysics, etc.). PCPG anticipates entrants will submit abstracts covering a wide range of topics.

Ten students will be selected from the abstracts to present posters at PCPG’s Annual General Membership Meeting.

Each successful entrant shall be awarded a $300 check from PCPG the day of the meeting, which is in recognition of being selected for the session and can be used for lodging, travel and reproduction services. 

In addition, prizes will be awarded at the end of the meeting for Best Poster ($1500) and Runner-Up ($750).
