The Mike Coward Prize for the Best Postgraduate Talk

An aim of TSG is to foster research in tectonics and structural geology, as well as to encourage the presentation of results by postgraduate students. With this in mind the group presents an award for the best oral presentation by a postgraduate student at its Annual General Meeting.
