A former Geophysical Institute graduate student earned a prestigious teaching award in Australia. Leslie Almberg received her doctorate in volcanology just a few short years ago and is now faculty at Curtin University in Western Australia. She was the recent recipient of the Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning - Early Career.  According to Almberg, "This is a highly competitive scheme for all of Australia's higher education institutions.
