The Canadian Rock Mechanics Association (CARMA) represents the combined membership of CGS Rock Mechanics Division and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’s Rock Engineering Society (CIM RES). CARMA also acts as Canada’s National Group for the International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (ISRM). CARMA is thrilled to announce the establishment of this new annual award, in honour of Professor Doug Stead's past and ongoing contributions to Canadian rock mechanics and rock engineering, to recognize outstanding doctoral contributions of its members to the Canadian rock mechanics and rock engineering community.
To be considered for the award, the candidate must be nominated within two (2) years of the date of the official doctoral degree certification. The recipient of this award may also be nominated by CARMA for the ISRM Rocha Medal; therefore, selection criteria similar to those of the Rocha Medal are applied.
Nominations are due by April 30, 2022 by email to contactus@carma-rocks.ca.
