Ryan Gallacher achieved excellence at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference in December 2013 by obtaining an honorable mention for the GeoPRISMS AGU Student Prize. He was, indeed, the only student from a non USA institution to place in the competition! Ryan’s achievement demonstrates that he is conducting high-level research that is international leading. Many congratulations.
