The American Geophysical Union (AGU) recently announced the 2023 Outstanding Student Presentation Award (OSPA) recipients. Three ESS graduate students, Anna Ledeczi, Madeleine Lucas, and Jensen DeGrande, are awardees.

“The primary goal of OSPA is to provide student presenters at AGU meetings valuable feedback about their research and presentation skills to help them advance their careers. Sections may grant awards to the OSPA winners in their section to recognize and reward students for quality research in Earth and space science and the ability to effectively communicate it.”

Anna Ledeczi and Madeleine Lucas were two of ten award recipients from the Tectonophysics section, and Jensen DeGrande was one of five award recipients from the Geodesy section. Their presentation details can be found below.
