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 2023 Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal is awarded to Christoph Schär for pioneering research on extreme weather, based on his skills in atmospheric dynamical theory and numerical modeling, that have enabled regional climate models to couple with complex topography.
The 2023 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to Guangjie Zheng for outstanding contributions to the understanding of multiphase processes in the atmospheric boundary layer, from extremely polluted to remote marine conditions.

Scientists find that faster warming in the Arctic will lead to a global 2 degree Celsius rise being reached eight years earlier than if the region was warming at the average global rate. And Geodesy researcher Andreas Kvas explains how Earth’s geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravity field are affected by climate-relevant processes.
This month, EGU observed International Day for Biosphere Reserves, while also diving deep into monster lore to mark 90 years since the first fake photo of the Loch Ness Monster.
