Shayla Triantafillou received the 2023 Bolyard Family scholarship from the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists Foundation!

Shayla received a scholarship for her research proposal concerning her ongoing work focusing on the geomorphic factors influencing watershed resiliency to wildfire in the Rocky Mountains of northern Colorado.

Shayla Triantafillou received the 2022-2023 Rich Herbert Memorial Scholarships from the Colorado Section of the American Water Resources Association!

Shayla received a scholarship for her research proposal concerning her ongoing work in Colorado watersheds. Her research focuses on the geomorphic factors influencing watershed resiliency to wildfire.

Emily Iskin is featured in AGU’s Early Career Researcher Spotlight for December 2022!

The Earth & Planetary Surface Processes section of the American Geophyiscal Union seeks to “highlight exciting new science coming from students and postdocs” and this month’s researcher is our very own Emily Iskin. Her research – which you can read about in her EPSP Spotlight and on her personal page – focuses on investigating the natural patterns of floodplain heterogeneity in various rivers across the US.

Congrats Emily on this well deserved recognition!
