Henry C. Cowles Award for
Best Publication
The Cowles Award was established in 1998 in honor of Henry Cowles,
who published the first paper to appear in the Annals of the
Association
of American Geographers: “The Causes of Vegetation Cycles”
(1911). The award is to be given annually in recognition of the
best biogeographical publication of the
year, honoring either books
or papers.
