Department Graduate Students Showcase Research in 2005

International Graduate Students Colin Cooke (Canada) and Adam Carter (UK) won prizes in the ASGSO Grad Student Expo, in the William Pitt Union last month. Colin won joint first prize for "Best Poster Contribution", and Adam won "Peoples Choice Award" for a selection of volcano photos from around the world. Colin works in the Palaeo-Climates group under Dr. Mark Abbot and Dr. Mike Rosemeir, and Adam works with the Image Visualization and Infrared Spectroscopy (IVIS) lab with Dr. Mike Ramsey. This is the second year running Geology students have won the competition!

The Grad Expo is an annual event sponsored by the Provost's office and Arts & Sciences, and organized by the Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Organization. It is essentially a forum for graduate students in natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to come together and present their current research projects.
