The Atmospheric Sciences (AS) Division is one of the largest divisions of the European Geosciences Union. The research areas covered by the division extend from the large-scale dynamical/meteorological processes and systems in the atmosphere (like cyclones and global atmosphere circulation) to the small scale turbulent mixing, they cover the time frame from centuries (in connection with climate research) to seconds (in the context of fast chemistry). Atmospheric sciences include studies of the atmosphere composition, aerosol and cloud physics, gas-particles interactions and chemical reaction kinetics studied in the labs.
The 2025 Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal is awarded to Ulrike Lohmann for outstanding research on cloud-climate interactions; integrating microscale processes and satellite data with global models to assess the radiative effects of clouds on the Earth system.
The 2025 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to Dominik Stolzenburg for innovative contributions and dedication to the fields of atmospheric chemistry and physics, particularly in the areas of new particle formation and nanoparticle growth.
The 2024 Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal is awarded to Lucy Carpenter for establishing a critical link between the production of trace gases in and over the oceans, atmospheric chemistry, and climate change.
The 2024 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Abigail McConnell Radical Processes on Secondary Organic Aerosols
The 2024 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Alexander Platter Uncertainty of eddy covariance-derived net ecosystem CO2 exchange over a mountain forest reduced by multiple nighttime filtering approaches, or not?
The 2024 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Anja Katzenberger Monsoon Planet: Studying Monsoon Dynamics in an Idealized Setup
The 2024 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Daniel Boateng African monsoon changes in the Late Cenozoic from the climate modelling perspective
The 2024 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Hannah Meyer Abundance of giant mineral dust particles: Insights from measured emitted dust size distributions during the J-WADI campaign
The 2024 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Luise Schulte Representation of Arctic mixed-phase clouds in the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System during MOSAiC
The 2024 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists is awarded to Nadia Bloemendaal for her outstanding contribution to research in atmospheric science with a focus on tropical cyclones and extreme weather.
In our June issue learn how new models are helping to predict marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean, how citizen science is mapping previously poorly understood parts of our oceans and following on from Pride month, think more about how support for your LGBTQIA+ colleagues needs to last all year round; get advice on being a supportive ally and inclusivity in fieldwork.
Also don't miss out on funding to help educators in tertiary education (college, university etc) develop new teaching materials, applications are due by 10 July, and apply for one of the limited spots in EGU's free peer-review training provided by EGU's Publications Committee, our open access journal editors, reviewers and staff, deadline is 31 July, and much more in this month's Loupe!
