Many of their design and illustration efforts have received awards.

Sculpted by Ice: Glaciers and the Alaska Landscape has been a recipient of several awards, including a first place in the book category at the National Interpreters Association's 2005 Media Awards competition. Michael Collier's aerial photographs and compelling story about Alaska's glaciers, coupled with Lawrence's maps and diagrams create a visually rich look at Alaska's rivers of ice.
