- Amanda Schulz, a PhD student in Earth Sciences, earned a GSA Graduate Student Research Grant to support research investigating temporal variability of methane in the Marcellus Shale Region of New York.
- JR Slosson, an MS student in Earth Sciences, received the John T. and Carol G. McGill grant through the GSA. His proposal is entitled “Calculating Andean Reservoir Infill Rates in Argentina using Cosmogenic Radionuclides and Stream Gauge Data.”
- Yige Yang, a PhD student in Civil & Environmental Engineering, won the Student Poster Competition in the Non-Architecture Graduate Research Category at the New York State Green Buildings Conference.
