CCGO AWARDS
CCGO has long been an advocate of excellence in the practice of geology, and of the importance of the general public understanding the basics of the risks associated with earthquakes, volcanoes, erosion, and floods. CCGO also works toward informing the public on the importance of geology in everyday life in California, and on the need for quality geology services. Our awards program reflects this vision.
The Awards program has been in place since 1998, the year after CCGO was formed. Only one award was given that year, to Dr. Eldridge Moores, for his talk at our first general meeting and Fundraiser. Over the years the awards program has grown to include award, which recognize geologists, officers, and volunteers who have made a major difference in pursuing the goals of CCGO and the profession of Geology.
