Five master’s students receive First Scholarly Publication Award

The School of Environment, Enterprise & Development (SEED) is pleased to announce five of our students have received this year's SEED First Scholarly Publication Award. This award is given to a master’s student in any SEED graduate program who publishes, as first-author, their first peer-reviewed publication. In 2020-21 our students published in a range of peer-reviewed journals, covering a spectrum of research topics, and contributing to SEED's reputation in interdisciplinary research and scholarship. All five master’s student-led papers were co-authored with their supervisors, continuing our tradition of collaboration and mentorship.
