Bork has been honored not only for his solid record as an undergraduate geoscience teacher but also for his contributions to the study of the history and development of geology. In 1997 the Geological Society of America (GSA) awarded him the History of Geology Award, normally granted to scholars affiliated with much larger universities.[1] And in 2000 Bork was awarded the Neil Miner Award for "contributions to the stimulation of interest in Earth Science" by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers.[1] He is a Fellow of the GSA.[2]
