Pete Burnard Award
The "Pete Burnard Award" recognizes an early-career scientist (max 8 years after PhD), who has made a significant contribution to the analytical development and advancement of noble gas measurements. The award was established in honor of our dear friend and colleague Pete Burnard, who passed away too soon, in 2015.
Deadline for nominations extended to June 29!

The winner of the 2023 Pete Burnard Award is Rebecca Tyne. Congratulations to her!
Rebecca Tyne did her PhD at the University of Oxford with Chris Ballentine and Peter Barry. She developed new methods to measure noble gas compositions in multi-phase fluid samples and used these to better understand volatile sources and exchange in hydrocarbon reservoirs. In addition, her work integrating noble gas analyses with other advanced analytical techniques shed light on the role of microbial methanogenesis in carbon capture and storage. She is now a Weston Howland, Jr. postdoc at WHOI.
Please consider submitting a nomination to the Pete Burnard Award. We especially encourage you to nominate women and candidates belonging to other underrepresented groups.
