NGS 50th Anniversary Celebration

NGS head its 50th Anniversary celebration at Blue Blood Brewing Company in Lincoln on November 17, 2018, in spite of slick roads and snow swirling through town.  The celebration featured a tour of Robber's Cave with local historian and author Joel Green.  Joe's book; "Robber's Cave: truths, Legends, Recollection" is available for purchase at www.robberscavebook.com.  Special thanks to Karen Griffin for sharing photos!​

​The 2019 NGS calendar focuses on field locations of Nebraska Geologists.  Images from around the world are presented with a description of the geological study conducted at these locations!
The Yatkola-Edwards Research Grants honor two University of Nebraska-Lincoln geology students, Dan Yatkola and Paul Edwards, who were killed in an auto accident on March 12, 1976.  Both students were actively involved in research on Nebraska-related topics.  The Nebraska Geological Society (NGS), wanting to encourage the investigation of the regional Earth sciences in the state, named its research grants program in their honor.  Through the generosity of members and friends of the NGS, a total of 87 research grants totaling $26,350 have been awarded to students since 1977.
 
At least two graduate-level research grants and two undergraduate research grants are available for 2017.  Funding amounts are typically around $500 for graduate-level with matching funds provided by AAPG.  These grants must be used only for expenses incurred either during the conduct of qualifying research in Nebraska (see “Guidelines for Proposals” below) or during the publication of said research.  
Deadline for 2018 Yatkola-Edwards Research Grants is February 2019. Click Here for Proposal Link
