Stuart Thomas, Elsevier PrizeWe are delighted to announce that Stuart Thomas has won the 2015 Elsevier Prize at Swansea University for the best Physical Geography MSc dissertation with findings that have a clear societal impact or a potential for practical application.

Stuart’s winning dissertation was on the efficiency in terms of transport and environmental effects of the bus-based Park and Ride scheme in the Swansea area.

A quote from the assessors’ reports:

"This dissertation represents a superb combination of a high-quality user survey and an expert level GIS analysis. This led to an insightful report which is potentially very valuable for the local authority as well as the P+R community."
