The S.D. Golding Postgraduate Geochemistry Prize

The S.D. Golding Postgraduate Geochemistry Prize recognizes and rewards excellence in peer-reviewed papers authored by students in the field of geochemistry. This scholarship was established by Emeritus Professor Sue Golding in 2018. Professor Golding was a treasured staff member and an alumnus of The University of Queensland who worked in resource exploration and production in Australia and South Africa throughout the 1970s. The prize is awarded to students enrolled in geological sciences, earth sciences, mineral resources, or research programs with relevance to geochemistry. Sue Golding played a major role in the development and management of isotope geochemistry facilities in the Faculty of Science, and this prize was established to honor her legacy. The School of the Environment Research Committee deliberates and decides on the best peer-reviewed published paper on geochemistry submitted by eligible students. Applicants must provide a topic of their peer-reviewed paper published on geochemistry, a DOI number, and a personal statement as part of their application. The prize is valued at at least $4,500 AUD and is awarded annually to one student who demonstrates excellence in geochemistry research through their published work.
