Iestyn, a climate scientist, will receive the Gill Memorial Award which recognises exceptional early career research with a remarkable track record of achievement.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to my incredible family, invaluable mentors, and collaborative partners, whose support has been essential throughout my journey.
