Prize Description
The SIAM Activity Group on Mathematics of Planet Earth Early Career Prize (SIAG/MPE Early Career Prize) is awarded every two years to an outstanding early career researcher in the field of Mathematics of Planet Earth for distinguished contributions to the field in the six calendar years prior to the award year.
Eligibility Criteria
The award recognizes a single individual who has made outstanding, influential, and potentially long-lasting contributions to the field of mathematics of the planet Earth within six (6) years of receiving the Ph.D. or equivalent degree as of January 1 of the year of the award. At least one of the papers containing this work must be published in English in a peer-reviewed journal or conference proceedings. The committee may consider exceptions to the six-year rule, for career interruptions or delays occurring in this time frame, e.g., for childbearing, child rearing, or elder care.
