GeoPRISMS Student Prize for Outstanding Presentations

2018 AGU Fall Meeting, Washington DC

Congratulations to the winners of the GeoPRISMS 2018 AGU Student Prize! As in previous years, the judges were greatly impressed by
the quality of the entrants and awarding individual prizes to just a few in such an outstanding field was very difficult. Here we honor two
prize winners and four honorable mentions. Thank you to all the entrants and judges for making this contest possible and worthwhile.
