Award to Albina Gilmullina

Albina Gilmullina (PhD UiB Geo 2021 with Christian Haug Eide as main supervisor leader) was yesterday awarded the "Harold Reading Medal" from the British Sedimentological Research Group. It is awarded to the person who has submitted " best publication arising directly from a PhD project in the field of sedimentology and stratigraphy during the previous year".

Albina Gilmullina (PhD UiB Geo 2021 with Christian Haug Eide as main supervisor leader) was yesterday awarded the "Harold Reading Medal" from the British Sedimentological Research Group. It is awarded to the person who has submitted " best publication arising directly from a PhD project in the field of sedimentology and stratigraphy during the previous year". Out of ten nominees mostly from the UK, Albina came first.

Albina won the award for the article "Linking sediment supply variations and tectonic evolution in deep time, source-to-sink systems — The Triassic Greater Barents Sea Basin" published in the Geological Society of America Bulletin. The article is openly available, and you can find it here

The article is about the development of the Arctic over time, about which areas supplied sediments to the Barents Sea throughout the Triassic, and it shows that the river systems there transported as much sediment as the largest rivers in the world today. The article also presents a method for investigating whether sediments have been bypassed from one sedimentary basin to another through geological time, and this method will probably be used by many others in the future.

Congratulations Albina!
