Congratulations to our Earth Sciences students, who have truly excelled this year. Amy Gilligan was awarded a First in her Finals, and came second in the entire class. She is also the recipient of the Schlumberger prize for the Best Fourth Year performance in Geophysics. Amy is now going to do a PhD in Seismology at Cambridge, and we send her our best wishes.

Richard Walters, who received a First in 2008 and is now working on his DPhil here, was awarded the Guralp prize for Outstanding Progress in Graduate Research. And congratulations also to Robert Allen for his Distinction in Prelims, and his exceptional performance.
