The Wollaston Fund is awarded to contributors to the Earth Sciences on the basis of noteworthy published research in either or both 'pure' and 'applied' aspects of the science (as defined by the Wollaston Medal). This Fund is awarded to early career geoscientists who have made excellent contributions to geoscience research and its application, in the UK and internationally. Recipients must be within ten years (full-time equivalent) of the award of their first degree in geoscience or a cognate subject. The Fund is accompanied by the award of £500.
