Student scoops award
Many congratulations to Holly Elliott was awarded the best student talk at the annual Volcanic & Magmatic Studies Group Meeting at the University of Bristol in early January.
This year's meeting was the largest on record, with 230 delegates and more than half of the talks (~25) given by students at various stages in their Ph.Ds. The judges noted that the overall standard of student presentations was particularly high this year.

Holly's Ph.D. project on "Pb-Zn mineralization within the Limerick Basin (SW Ireland): A role for volcanism?", supervised by Dr. Tom Gernon and Prof. Steve Roberts , is partly supported by the international mining company, Teck. Teck's exploration manager for Europe and Africa, Dr. Patrick Redmond, says "Holly's research is of a very high quality and is contributing lots of new and interesting data and ideas'.
