Marius Lambert, one of the four was the lucky winner of the poster award, presented at PhD Day 2019. The award received an honorable mention, along with 10,000 NOK in prize money.
Marius won with his poster depicting climate models and their simulation to freeze-drying. You can see his poster here:
Are current climate models able to simulate frost droughts? *
Good color choice and neat expression
Some of the arguments from the jury for Marius to receive this year's award were:
"All the members of the jury had your poster as one of their favorites. We are particularly impressed by your illustration and consistent use of relevant and meaning bearing colors throughout the poster. Your layout is very tidy and consistent, with sufficient and evenly distributed white space. The logo is correct and correctly placed on the poster."
Lambert is a PhD Fellow at the Section of meteorology and oceanography, Department of Geosciences. He is associated with research in the projects WINTERPROOF and EMERALD, both at the Department of Geosciences.
Congratulations Marius!
