Mankin Award to Texas

The AASG Charles J. Mankin Award is given each year to the best recently-published, nominated state geological survey geological map, compilation, or report on regional, energy, or mineral resource geology. The award honors Charles Mankin (1932-2012), who as Director of the Oklahoma Geological Survey for forty years (1967-2007) was a tireless advocate for geologic mapping. The 2023 AASG Mankin Award has been presented to Stephen C. Ruppel of the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology, for editing the two-volume publication: Anatomy of a Paleozoic Basin: The Permian Basin, USA. Congratulations to Stephen and to all of the authors!
