Loredana Suciu wins second prize at the 9th Annual Ohio University Student Research and Creative Activity Expo
 Congratulations to Loredana Suciu for winning second prize among Arts & Sciences students at the 9th Annual Ohio University Student Research and Creative Activity Expo. Loredana presented a poster based on her thesis research, which is focused on prescribed forest fires in southeastern Ohio. Loredana first applied remote-sensing techniques to map the radiative energy of the fire, then used GIS to explore topographic and micro-climatic controls of fire behavior. Judges at the Expo evaluated student entries based on the content and presentation of the posters, and also on the students’ responses during an interview. Obviously Loredana’s poster and presentation made a very good impression!
