Early Career Scientists Committee

The Early Career Scientists Committee (ECSC) is formed of young scientists who represent the upcoming generation of sedimentologists, ensuring that their voice is heard in the IAS. ‍ An Early Career Scientist (ECS) is a scientist with no more than 7 years of full time experience since completing their Ph.D. (excluding periods of parental or other care leave). The ECSC members are early career scientists active in sedimentological research as demonstrated by their publication record (minimum 3 research articles in peer-reviewed publications).
