The Kevin Stark Memorial Award
The Kevin Stark Memorial Award was established by the National Committee on Coastal and Ocean Engineering (NCCOE) in 1993 in honour and memory of the Late Professor Kevin Percy Stark of James Cook University, following his untimely death in 1989. The Award recognises excellence in coastal and ocean engineering, especially from a multi-disciplinary approach.
The NCCOE established the Award to foster and encourage excellence in coastal and ocean engineering in Australia across the full range of professional practice, research and teaching. The inaugural award was made on 24th August 1993 in Townsville at the 11th Australasian Conference on Coastal and Ocean Engineering.
The Award is made on the basis of the quality of submitted papers to the biennial Australasian Conference on Coastal and Ocean Engineering. All accepted papers, with their authors, automatically qualify for consideration of the Award unless indicated to the contrary by the Authors.
