Please join us in congratulating EPS graduate student Harriet Lau for receiving an Outstanding Student Presentation Award at the December AGU meeting.  These awards, given to the top 3-5% of students making presentations, are intended to recognize and promote excellent research in the geophysical sciences.  Harriet's accomplishment is all the more notable given that she is a second-year student.  Wonderful work!
