Tina Dura, EES PhD candidate, was awarded an Outstanding Student Paper Award (OSPA) in the Tectonophysics focus group for her presentation skills at the 2013 Fall Meeting.
The Outstanding Student Paper Awards (OSPAs) are awarded to promote, recognize and reward undergraduate, Master’s and PhD students for quality research in the geophysical sciences. It is a great honor for young scientists at the beginning of their careers and the process relies entirely on volunteer judges. Typically the top 3-5% of presenters in each section/focus group are awarded an OSPA and all judged students are provided feedback.
