Congratulations to Mary who was awarded second place in the Earth and Environmental Science category (Stage 5) at the 2022 Young Scientist Awards.
Mary also received a Highly Commended in the Rural Young Scientist award.
She studied the distribution and abundance of microplastics in the upper catchment of the Wollondilly River.
Mary's results allowed her to distinguish and demonstrate a direct link between human populations and the prescence of microplastics in the river system.
