2024 - 2025 BIll Barlow Award:

Gerard Gallardo

I was honoured to receive the Bill Barlow award from RSPSoc, which enabled me to pursue a field campaign in Iceland during the summer of 2024. The ground and drone data we gathered plays an important role in understanding the radar scattering of volcanic rocks and aids in the simulation of future radar images on Venus.
