Ricky Stevens (1st year BSc Geography) has been awarded £1000 by the RGS-IBG for a Fieldwork Apprenticeship under the Learning and Leading Programme. This money will enable him to work with Simon Carr and Stephanie Mills on a project titled Sensitivity of Icelandic Niche Glaciers to Climate Change, and will fund fieldwork in Central Iceland in August and September 2009. The RGS-IBG makes only five Fieldwork Apprenticeship awards each year, so it is great news that Ricky has been successful in his application.
