Student Spotlight

Student Spotlight articles feature the ambitious, energetic, and ongoing student efforts in near surface geophysics.  These articles can be found at the end of the section's monthly newsletter and are also achieved below.  The purpose of these works is to help connect students with others who have similar research interests, inspire future cooperative research, and find out more about what is going on in the near surface research community.

If you or someone you know should be highlighted for their outstanding work, please contact Tonian Robinson or Christopher Terra to set up an interview! The Near Surface Section is excited to be able to offer free registration to the AGU Fall Meeting to the students featured in the Student Spotlight.
