Fall 2011 Grad Blitz Winners

The Institute of the Environment would like to congratulate the fantastic speaker and poster winners of the fall 2011 Environmental Research Grad Blitz and thank all of the participants for sharing such a wide range of cutting-edge research. The rapid-fire Blitz blends a series of five-minute “speed talks” with poster presentations, providing a great opportunity to quickly get up to speed on the latest environmental work by UA graduate students. IE also would like to thank the judges and time keepers for helping make the second Blitz a great success.

1st Prize winner Joel Biederman gives his presentation on The Impacts of Pine Tree Die-Off on Snow Processes from Tree to Watershed Scales.
