Michelle Gibson has recently been awarded the Norman Richardson Postgraduate Research Fund! It is awarded biannually by Ustinov College to help with fieldwork related expenses. Michelle's portion of this fund will go towards airfare to Australia, car rentals for fieldwork in the Australian Outback survey, and accommodation costs while visiting University of Queensland. Previous recipients are from a wide range of research backgrounds- Geography, Archaeology, Social Sciences, International Affairs, Theology, and Business, to name a few- and have travelled to locations around the world from Palestine and Greece to Nepal, Shanghai, and the USA. As a recipient of the award, Michelle will be required to complete a research trip report and take part in a college seminar or discussion forum.
Michelle's research explores disturbance impacts of extreme weather events in Australia on bird species distributions. She will be conducting surveys this July in Australia to measure the abundance and density of terrestrial birds of the arid Australian interior.
