AGI announces the winners of Earth Science Week 2003 contests

The American Geological Institute is proud to announce the winners of the Earth Science Week 2003 contests. The contests are designed to encourage students and the public to participate in this annual celebration that recognizes the importance of Earth sciences in our lives. The most recent contests included an art contest for elementary-school children, an essay contest for secondary-school students, a lesson-plan design contest for teachers, and a photography contest open to all ages. Winners in each contest were selected from almost 300 entries.

The winner of the visual-arts contest was eight-year-old Christina Gill of Herndon, Virginia, for her artwork entitled "Keeping an Eye on Our Earth." Jessica Taylor of Cary, North Carolina, won the essay contest for her composition "Who is a volcanologist and what do they do?". The lesson-plan design contest was won by Mary Ball of Jefferson City, Tennessee. Her lesson plan, "Monitoring our Changing World: the USGS Stream Gage Network," is intended for undergraduate introductory geoscience students. Ben Kennedy of Montreal, Canada, received top honors in the photography contest for his picture of Indonesia's Tengar Caldera and Mt. Semeru. Winning entries and finalists for each of the four contests are posted on the Earth Science Week web site, http://www.earthsciweek.org.

Earth Science Week 2003 was a tremendous success, with events held in cities across the U.S. and in several countries. The celebration was officially proclaimed by 21 states and was recognized by President George W. Bush. The theme for Earth Science Week 2003, "Eyes on Planet Earth: Monitoring our Changing World," emphasized the important work geoscientists do to study and understand our dynamic planet.

The goal of Earth Science Week is to increase the public's understanding of geology and the Earth sciences so that citizens can make informed decisions concerning land management and use, addr
