About this scholarship
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. Throughout the 1970s she worked in resource exploration and production in Australia and South Africa. Sue played a major role in development and management of isotope geochemistry facilities in the Faculty of Science, and this prize was established to recognise and reward excellence in a peer-reviewed paper authored by a student.
