Nicola

Nicola Brocklehurst (Geography Single Honours, third year undergraduate) won ‘best poster prize’ at the Quaternary Research Association's postgraduate conference held at the University of Durham in late August.

Nicola presented the results of her project entitled: “Ecological and sedimentological characteristics of kettle-hole lakes in the proglacial environment, Skeiðarársandur, south-east Iceland” which was funded by a Nuffield Undergraduate Research Bursary and supervised by Dr Zoe Robinson and Dr Katie Szkornik (EPSAM).

Nicola undertook research for the project during the summer of 2011, building on her second year undergraduate experience in Geography where she also participated in a 10-day field course to Iceland as part of her degree programme.
