Dear all,
My final action as awards officer for the BSRG is to let all of you know, who were not there, the outcome on the prizes and awards/medals conferred by the Society at the 2015 AGM in Keele.
The 2015 PhD Poster Prize went to:
Dan Stokes et al. (UCD) – for his poster on “Bed-scale characterisation of large erosional deepwater channels: Grés du Champsaur, South Eastern France.” There were also Honourable Mentions for both Hage et al. (NOC) – “New insights into flow-bedform interaction from direct modelling of turbidity currents” and Breislin et al. (Manchester) – “Basin-scale mineral and fluid processes at a palaeo-platform margin, Lower Carboniferous, UK.”
The 2015 BSRG Award for Undergraduate Sedimentology - awarded annually to the best final-year undergraduate sedimentological project at a UK or Irish University went to:
Alexander Rolland (St. Andrews) for his project on “Hummocky cross stratification and ancient storms.” There were Honourable Mentions for Robert Housego (Hull) – “A Laboratory Based Investigation into the Implications of Water Discharge Perturbations on Delta Morphodynamics” and Adam Lindley (Swansea) for his project on “Assessment and interpretation of lateral variation in the Aberystwyth Grits.”
The 2015 BSRG Award for Masters Sedimentology - this is awarded to the best sedimentological project completed by student on a taught Masters course at a UK or Irish University, went to:
Bonita Barrett-Crosdil (Bangor) for her work on “An investigation into the seismic response of gassy marine sediments: a synthetic model study.”
The Society awarded its 2015 Harold Reading Medal, which is awarded annually to the postgraduate or recent postgraduate (normally within 2 years of doctoral award) who has been judged to have produced the best publication arising directly from a PhD project in the field of sedimentology and stratigraphy during the previous year, to:
Dr Marco Fonnesu (Leeds) – for a recent publication on “Short length-scale variability of hybrid event beds and its applied significance” published in Marine and Petroleum Geology (Vol. 67, November 2015, pages 583-603).
The 2015 BSRG Roland Goldring Award, which Recognises noteworthy published research in any field of sedimentology by candidates within ten years (full-time equivalent) of the commencement of their research career, to:
Dr Joris Eggenhuisen (Utrecht).
Finally, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the 2015 recipient of the Societies' Perce Allen Award, which recognises a substantial body of research in any field of sedimentology, was awarded to:
Prof. Alastair Robertson (Edinburgh).
Very many congratulations to all the awardees and medallists.
Finally, Esther Sumner takes over as Awards officer after I press send on this email (so all queries to her please!)….thus I just take the opportunity to say thanks for the support over the past three years.
With kind regards
Dan
