GeoConvention 2017 presented awards on October 19, 2017 during a celebration and PechaKucha evening. Six speakers (*) each gave a 10-minute PechaKucha type summary of their GeoConvention Oral Presentations.
Many awardees were present (authors, co-authors, or stand-ins) and posed with their GeoConvention 2017 Awards.
