Welcome to the Leverhulme Wildfires Summer Conference Poster Hub!
Here you can view a list of posters that were presented at the poster session, organised into the four main conference themes. To view the poster abstracts, please download here (xcel).
Where provided, pdfs of the posters can accessed below.
A big thank you to the judges of the ECR Poster Competition, José Gomez-Dans, Manolis Grillakis, Mark Grosvenor and Cathy Smith. The quality of the posters was very high, making decisions difficult, but the final winners (each receiving £150) were:
Theme 1: Theo Keeping (University of Reading)
Theme 2: Matt Kasoar (Imperial College London)
Theme 3: Hafizha Mulyasih (Imperial College London)
Theme 4: Fiona Newman Thacker (Wageningen University and Research)
Congratulations!
