Today Brendon successfully defended his submitted PhD thesis. Great work! Thanks to Steve Thomas (Plant and Food) who critically read the thesis and conducted the oral.

After 6 months work, both Jack and Mahdiyeh presented their research proposals. They both did excellent jobs and were confirmed full enrollment in their PhDs.

Well, a story on denitrification beds made it onto Science Alert’s Facebook page and got nearly 11,000 likes and 1200 shares!

Tim submitted his MSc thesis today, which tested a new soil coring approach for comparing carbon and nitrogen stocks of adjacent land uses. Tim’s approach was faster and capable of detecting smaller differences than our previous sampling involving digging pits.

Today Brendon Welten submitted his PhD thesis. Great job!
