The Doris M. Curtis Outstanding Woman in Science Award, also known as the Subaru Outstanding Woman in Science Award is a prize given annually by the Geological Society of America to "...women who have made a significant impact on the geosciences with their Ph.D. research."[1] The award is named in memory of Doris Malkin Curtis, first female president of the GSA,[2] and sponsored by Subaru.
