The Outstanding Student Presentation Award (OSPA) was awarded to PhD student May M.M. Chim for her poster titled “Model simulations of the climate impacts of volcanic eruptions in a future warming scenario.”
We extend our congratulations to May for this wonderful achievement!
This award was presented at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting 2021 under the Atmospheric Science category.
She explains that “My research investigates the climate impacts of volcanic eruptions under global warming by performing future climate simulations using the UK Earth System Model.
“The new methodology in my research is a first attempt to account for the impacts of climate change on volcanic eruptive plumes in an Earth System Model, which allows better evaluation of the climate impacts of volcanoes under global warming.”
This research is part of Dr Anja Schmidt’s research group supervised jointly by Schmidt and Dr Thomas Aubry from the Department of Geography.
The purpose of the OSPAs are to promote, recognise and reward students for quality research in Earth and space science.
