Andrew Schaeffer of the Geophysics Section (School of Cosmic Physics) has won the 2013 Student Author Award of the Geophysical Journal International. The award has been established to recognise the best papers submitted to the journal by young scientists in the field. Andrew Schaeffer is one of the two 2013 winners, voted for by the journal’s Editorial Board and each receiving a cash prize and a framed certificate. The awards are being announced on the journal website, at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in December 2013 and the European Geophysical Union General Assembly in 2014. Andrew’s paper (“Global shear-speed structure of the upper mantle and transition zone”, by A.J. Schaeffer and S. Lebedev) presents global tomography of the Earth’s upper mantle with an unprecedentedly large waveform dataset. His tomographic model reveals the global structure of the Earth’s tectonic plates and underlying mantle in finer detail than was possible previously. Andrew’s winning paper has been granted Free Access on the journal website.

And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)
