Birdi1 and Helen E. Higson2 1 School of Life and Health, Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom, 2 Aston Business School, Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom Ethnic minority groups have been shown to obtain poorer final year degree outcomes than their majority group counterparts in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. Obtaining a lower degree classification may limit future employment prospects of graduates as well as opportunities for higher level study. To further investigate this achievement gap, we analyzed performance levels across three academic years of study of 3,051 Black, Asian and White students from a United Kingdom University. Analyses of covariance investigated effects of ethnicity and work placement experience (internships) on first, second and final year marks, whilst statistically controlling for a number of factors thought to influence achievement, including prior academic performance. Results demonstrated superior achievement of Edited by: White students consistently across all years of study. Placement experience reduced, Dilly Fung, University College London, but did not eliminate, the size of the achievement gap exhibited by final year students. United Kingdom Sex, parental education and socioeconomic status had no significant main effects. Reviewed by: Female students showed a more complex pattern of results than males, with Black Liz Thomas, females not showing the same final year uplift in marks as their Asian and White Edge Hill University, United Kingdom Sharinaz Hassan, counterparts.

  • Habitat of the Nascent Chicxulub Crater
    245-6 - HABITAT OF THE NASCENT CHICXULUB CRATER Abstract Drilling on the peAk ring of the Chicxulub CrAter At Site M0077 during InternAtionAl OceAn Discovery ProgrAm-ContinentAl Scientific Drilling ProgrAm Expedition 364 recovered possibly the most complete record of the immediAte AftermAth of the impAct At the CretAceous-PAleogene boundAry. This record is contAined within deposits formed by initiAl resurge into the crAter followed by those lAid down by tsunAmi And seiche wAves. ChArcoAl lAyers At the top of the tsunAmi And seiche deposits derived from impAct-induced wildfires suggest deposition within hours to decades After the impAct. Seiche deposits Are composed of calcite formed by decarbonAtion of the tArget limestone during impAct followed by carbonAtion At the seA floor. Deep-seA temperAtures in the crAter recorded by clumped isotopes of these carbonAtes rAnged between 50 and 90oC indicative of impAct-induced hydrothermAl Activity. Strontium isotope values And AlterAtion of chArcoAl to pyrite And petrified wood supports this interpretAtion. Veins with chlorite And sphAlerite suggest conduits with higher temperAture fluids in the carbonAte section. The crAter became A hAbitAt for life soon After impAct with An eArliest DAniAn nAnnoplAnkton And dinocyst AssemblAge AppeAring At the top of the tsunAmi bed. Diversity dropped At the top of the seiche deposits where A monogeneric calcareous dinoflAgellAte resting cyst AssemblAge is found without other nAnnoplAnkton or dinocysts, suggesting deteriorAting environmentAl conditions. MicrobiAl fossils mAde of ApAtite And calcite At the top of the seiche deposits suggest A thriving bActeriAl community in the surfAce oceAn And At the seAfloor, which we postulAte wAs supported by energy And nutrients supplied by hydrothermAl Activity.
