Biogeoscience Award Recipeints

  • By: Christopher R Devits

We’re very pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Research and Travel Awards in Biogeoscience.  A committee of four biogeoscience faculty reviewed the proposals, all of which were very good.  If you didn’t get funded this year, please try again next year!

Research Award in Biogeoscience ($500 each)

  • Andrew Reinmann, Department of Biology, Coupled response of above- and belowground carbon fluxes in a temperate deciduous forest to reduced winter snow pack
  • Elise Heiss, Department of Earth Sciences, Examining the Effect of Nitrogen Loading and pH on Water Column Nitrification
  • Preeti Rao, Department of Geography & Environment, Spatial patterns of N-deposition along an urbanization gradient in Boston

Travel Award in Biogeoscience ($500)

  • Kenneth Takagi, Department of Earth Sciences, 2011 Fall AGU Meeting, Is there a role for calcium oxalate in the terrestrial calcium budget? Using Ca isotopes to constrain sources of streamwater Ca following clear-cutting of a New England watershed

Please join us in congratulating these students for outstanding work!
