CUAHSI Pathfinder Graduate Student Fellowships

CUASHI has awarded five fellowships for 2011 to support graduate student research as part of the Pathfinder Graduate Student Fellowship Program. The focus of the fellowship program is to assist graduate students in enriching their research program by moving beyond a "one site, one view" approach to research. The 2011 Pathfinder Fellows will receive travel support to conduct field research at an additional site or to collaborate with a research group using alternate modeling methods of those in a graduate student's current research program.

The recipients of this year's Fellowships are:

• Ryan Gordon, Syracuse University, Department of Earth Sciences
• Tracie Jackson, Oregon State University, Department of Geosciences
• Keshia Koehn, University of Notre Dame, Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Science
• Katrina Koski Henry, New Mexico Tech, Department of Earth and Environmental Science
• Kenneth Takagi, Boston University, Department of Earth Sciences

This is the third year of the Pathfinder Fellowship Program. The five recipients were selected from a pool of seventeen applicants by a review panel consisting of Martin Doyle (Duke University), David Freyberg (Stanford University), and Laura Lautz (Syracuse University). [Read more]
