In 1993 the Jan De Ploey Prize was established to further research in the field of process geomorphology.

This prize is awarded to a young scientist (under the age of 35 years) who has made a significant contribution to research in the field of geomorphological processes. Previous prize winners were Dr. R. Allison (University of Durham, U.K.) in 1993, Dr. Y. Le Bissonnais (INRA, Orleans, France) in 1995 and Dr. Stuart Lane (University of Leeds, U.K.) in 1998. This Prize will be awarded for the fourth time at the Fifth International Conference on Geomorphology (23-28 August 2001, Tokyo, Japan).

The recipient will be expected to deliver a memorial lecture at the Laboratory for Experimental Geomorphology, K.U.Leuven, Belgium. The Prize will pay the expenses of the visit to Leuven and the residual sum may be used to support attendance at an appropriate international conference.

Nominations should consist of a brief statement and any supporting materials (C.V., list of publications), including at least a copy of one critical published paper.

Please send your nominations before MAY 15, 2001 to the Jan De Ploey Prize Selection Committee, Laboratory for Experimental Geomorpholgy, K.U. Leuven, Redingenstraat 16, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium.
