| For the past 9 years, M&A has been
pleased to award the Montgomery Prize to a student from the University
of Arizona’s Hydrology & Water Resources Department. The
recipient is selected by a panel of professionals based on oral presentations
at the El Dia del Agua Symposium. An annual 1-day event, the symposium
serves as a research showcase for the Department and features both
poster sessions and oral presentations. The award, one of many given
at this event, includes $1,000 in cash — a symbol of M&A’s
ongoing commitment to promoting excellence in research and communication
in the field of hydrology.
The 2006 El Dia del Agua Symposium was held on Thursday, March
2nd, at the Grand Ballroom of the U of A’s Student Union Memorial
Center. This year’s Montgomery Prize winner was Akif Sarikaya,
a PhD. candidate. Leslie Katz of M&A presented the prize for
Akif’s outstanding presentation “Glaciations in Aladaglar
and Sandiras: New Paleoclimatic Clues in Turkey.” This work
explores reasons why the two Turkish mountains, Aladaglar and Sandiras,
had different glaciological and climatic histories.
