Award Announcements

I have some exciting news to share. After both of the conferences that I attended in March, I have received some form of recognition for my work based on evaluations of my fellow conference attendees:

  • At Geoconvention in Calgary, I was given the distinction of "Best Student Oral Presentation – Honourable Mention," which places me among the best of over 300 papers at the conference. 
  • At SAGEEP in Denver, I was among the top 4 papers out of over 200 submissions at the conference. As such, I have been invited to present at the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers’ (EAGE) Near Surface Geoscience Division meeting in Barcelona in September 2016 to represent the "Best of Denver 2016". 
I'm very grateful to my peers for choosing me for these honours, and I am especially excited to travel to Spain for the first time and meet my European counterparts. I look forward to cracking more jokes at Leonardo DiCaprio's expense (thankfully, he's a big enough star that I don't have to change my jokes) and, of course, to sharing my interesting results from beautiful Fortress Mountain.
