The Jean-Claude Dionne Awards

The Jean-Claude Dionne Award is presented to the best student oral presentation at a CGRG-sponsored session at a national or regional meeting. Dr. Jean-Claude Dionne is an Emeritus Professor of Geography at the Université Laval and is a member of Centre d’étude nordiques. Dr. Dionne has made an enormous contribution to geomorphology, particularly in the field of periglacial environments and on "le glaciel". He has published more than 300 papers, notes and reports and has received la médaille André-Cailleux and the Canadian Association of Geographers Award. In 1998, he was named a Fellow of the Geological Society of America.
