Graduate student Beth Ann Bell was honored at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) as one of only 8 students to win an Outstanding Student Paper Award (OSPA) in the Volcanology, Geochemistry, and Petrology section. OSPAs are awarded to only the top 3-5% of presenters in each section in recognition of high quality research in the geophysical sciences. Beth Ann received the award for her paper “Late Hadean-Eoarchean transitions in crustal evolution from Hf isotopic evidence in the Jack Hills zircons”. Beth Ann, whose advisor is Professor Mark Harrison, has recently graduated from UCLA with her PhD.
