WILLIAMS-FELICIANO GEOLOGY AWARD

The Williams-Feliciano Geology Award is a prestigious honor presented by the Geological Society of the Philippines (GSP). It is awarded posthumously to geologists who have tragically lost their lives in the practice of geology.

This award also commemorates the inspiring efforts of Major Robert N. Williams and Dr. Jose M. Feliciano, whose dedication led to the founding of the Society.

If you know a geologist who may be eligible for this award, we invite you to honor their legacy by submitting a nomination through the form below and help us recognize their contribution to the field.
