Every four years, AQUA offers awards to assist early-career researchers in attending the INQUA Congress. This year, AQUA offered four grants of AUD 2250 each to cover the costs of travel to the XIX INQUA Congress in Nagoya, Japan. A total of 36 applications were received. The judging was tough, but four of the applicants emerged as the clear winners. We are therefore pleased to announce that the recipients of the 2015 AQUA Travel Award are, in alphabetical order: Shaun Eaves, Victoria University of Wellington: Uniform summertime cooling drove glacier advances across New Zealand during the Antarctic Cold Reversal Jessica Hinojosa, University of Otago: Holocene evolution of marine radiocarbon reservoir ages offshore southwest New Zealand: Implications for water mass migration and radiocarbon dating accuracy Claire Krause, Australian National University: New insights on tropical vegetation productivity and atmospheric methane over the last 40,000 years from speleothems in Sulawesi, Indonesia Jennifer Wurtzel, Australian National University: Holocene climate variability recorded in a speleothem from Sumatra, Indonesia We congratulate these four outstanding young scientists, who will all be wonderful ambassadors for the Australasian research community. These grants are the largest awards offered by AQUA. However, AQUA has a very strong philosophy of supporting early-career researchers and offers smaller awards and prizes every year. For younger scientists, AQUA membership can therefore be particularly worthwhile. For more established scientists, it is your ongoing membership that makes all this possible. Only with the support of the wider community can we continue to support the next generation of Quaternary scientists. For more information about AQUA, please visit our website: aqua.org.au/
