Frye Award to Alabama

The AASG/GSA John C. Frye Memorial Award recognizes the best recently-published, nominated state geological survey or GSA publication in environmental geology.

John C. Frye joined USGS in 1938, he went to the Kansas Geological Survey in 1942, he was its Director from 1945 to 1954, he was Chief of the Illinois State Geological Survey until 1974, and he was GSA Executive Director until his retirement in 1982, shortly before his death. John was active in AASG and on national committees, and was influential in the growth of environmental geology.

The 2024 Frye Award will be presented at GSA to Alabama authors, for their publication: Gregory M. Guthrie, Gary A. Hastert, and Mary Hastings Puckett, 2022, Geological Survey of Alabama Bulletin 192, “An Aquifer Recharge Potential Model for Alabama.”
