Doris Malkin Curtis Medal

The Gulf Coast Section SEPM is pleased to announce the establishment of a new award, the Doris Malkin Curtis Medal, which recognizes geologists for their career contributions in the development of new concepts for understanding the geology of the Gulf of Mexico Basin and other basins globally. The award is named in honor of Doris Malkin Curtis, one of the pioneers in studying the paleontology and stratigraphy of Gulf Coast Geology. Dr. Curtis worked in the Gulf Basin for more than 50 years, and served the geologic profession in many ways.

The first recipient of the Doris Malkin Curtis Medal award is Dr. L. Frank Brown, Jr. of the Bureau of Economic Geology at The University of Texas in Austin. In his five-decade career, Frank has been a leader in the development of studies in depositional systems, seismic stratigraphy, and later an advocate for sequence stratigraphy.
