Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the winner of the Soil Systems Travel Award 2019.

Dr. Jennifer Soong, a postdoctoral researcher in the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA, was selected from a highly competitive field of applicants. Her research focuses on the pressing issue of terrestrial ecosystem function under various natural and human-influenced environmental conditions.

Dr. Soong will receive 800 Swiss Francs to support attendance at any soil-related academic conference in 2019. Congratulations to Dr. Soong on receiving this highly competitive travel award.

I would like to thank the Award Selection Committee members for their evaluation of the applicants, and I thank all the outstanding applicants for submitting their diverse and fascinating range of research topics.
