Three geoscientists working in tectonics, water flow of aquifers and the evolution of the lithosphere and mantle are the recipients of the 2019 round of the 34th International Geological Congress Travel Grant Scheme announced recently.
The researchers will use the travel grant to attend international conferences and conduct field and laboratory work in collaboration with researchers in the UK, US and Canada. They will share a funding pool of around $15,000.
The recipients announced by the Australian Geoscience Council (AGC) and the Academy are:
- Dr Derya Gürer-Lecturer, University of Queensland, whose research relates to tectonics and the evolution of Earth’s lithosphere at various spatio-temporal scales.
- Dr Dylan Irvine-Senior Lecturer, Flinders University, whose research involves measurements of water temperature to determine water flow, including flow in aquifers and the interaction between groundwater and surface water.
- Dr Timothy Chapman-Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of New England, who investigates the formation and evolution of the lithosphere and mantle using a mix of igneous and metamorphic petrology.
2020 round now open
The next round for this travel grant funding is now open for Australian and New Zealand geoscientists in the early stages of their careers.
