Student wins first place in AGU’s 2018 Spring Virtual Poster Showcase
Nick Richmond, a master’s student in the University of Maine’s School of Earth and Climate Sciences, won first place in the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) 2018 Spring Virtual Poster Showcase.
Richmond was recognized in the “Graduate Showcase” category for his project, “3-D Bedrock Channel Evolution with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Coupled to a Finite Element Earth.”
The showcase included 67 students from around the world who presented their work and contribution to the fields of Earth and space science, according to the AGU.
The showcase recognizes first-, second- and third-place winners at the graduate, undergraduate and high school levels, as well as one honorable mention in each category. The nine lead authors receive a plaque and complimentary AGU membership in 2019. As a first-place winner, Richmond also will receive a student travel grant to attend the 2019 AGU fall meeting in San Francisco, California.
