The GeoPRISMS Prize accepts international entries from any student who can establish a topical link between their research and a stated aim of a GeoPRISMS Programme Initiative. GeoPRISMS (Geodynamic Processes at Rifting and Subducting Margins) is a community effort that studies the origin and evolution of continental margins.
