AGI Announces 2018 Harriet Evelyn Wallace Scholarship Recipients

The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) congratulates Master’s student Anna Stanczyk and doctoral student Nicole Shibley as the 2018 recipients of the Harriet Evelyn Wallace Scholarship.

Anna Stanczyk, a Master’s student at the University of Utah, is studying rock avalanches. Her current research is a multidisciplinary investigation of an ancient valley-blocking rock avalanche deposit in the natural laboratory of Hop Valley, Zion National Park.

Nicole Shibley, a Ph.D. candidate at Yale University, is studying the dynamics of the Arctic Ocean. Her current research combines theory and observations to investigate ocean mixing processes that are responsible for vertical heat fluxes towards the overlying sea ice cover.

The Wallace Scholarship is celebrating its sixth year supporting women geoscientists in graduate school. The scholarship is awarded to top applicants who most demonstrate a strong likelihood of successfully transitioning from graduate school into the geoscience workforce.
