In July, the CCRI said farewell to Marie and Harry, who had joined the team for ten months as part of their undergraduate courses. In early September however, we were joined by two new placement students who will work with us on a range of projects which will form part of their undergraduate degree. One of their key tasks will be maintaining the CCRI submissions to the University Research Repository. Items added to the repository during 2024 can be viewed here.
Mia Heath (right), who is from Cumbria, is studying Ecology and Wildlife Conservation degree at the University of Reading. Mia has a keen interest in sustainable land management and has experience with the farming sector through her extra-curricular activities which include an internship with the National Sheep Association as Policy Communications Support Officer.
Caitlin Mackenzie (left) is from Bristol and studying Geography at Plymouth University. Caitlin has already provided GIS support for colleagues and will also be working on forthcoming Climathons. She has a wide range of interests including GIS, environmental archaeology, nature-based solutions, and the future of environmental conservation.
