EGU celebrates its 2021 Union awardees and medallists, whom the community is honouring for their important contributions to the Earth, planetary and space sciences.
2021 Alexander von Humboldt Medal
The 2021 Alexander von Humboldt Medal is awarded to Manfred R. Strecker for excellent research and education in developing regions. The focus of his research on tectonics in relation to climate and natural hazards has a high societal relevance.
2021 Alfred Wegener Medal & Honorary Membership
The 2021 Alfred Wegener Medal & Honorary Membership is awarded to Angela M. Gurnell for pioneering contributions to the emergence and consolidation of fluvial biogeomorphology.
2021 Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership
The 2021 Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership is awarded to Laurent Jolivet for exceptional contributions to our understanding of deformational processes of the continental lithosphere at convergent margins.
2021 Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership
The 2021 Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership is awarded to Janet G. Luhmann for being an exceptional geoscientist, original thinker, and true pioneer in the science of planetary space weather, revealing the links between solar processes and their planetary responses.
2021 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists
The 2021 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists is awarded to Anita L. Ganesan for innovative and impactful work on greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance estimation through a combination of modelling and measurements.
2021 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists
The 2021 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists is awarded to Carolyn J. Boulton for outstanding research in the understanding of chemical-mechanical interactions during fault slip and the comparison of microstructures developed in experimental and natural samples.
2021 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists
The 2021 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists is awarded to Lucy Rowland for her exceptional scientific contributions to the biogeosciences, improving our understanding of water and carbon cycling in tropical rainforests and their interplay with climate and land-use policy.
2021 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists
The 2021 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists is awarded to Mateja Dumbović for her innovative contributions to solar and space-weather physics, in particular, regarding the modelling and observational studies of Forbush decreases, CME propagation, and geo-effectivity.
2021 Angela Croome Award
The 2021 Angela Croome Award is awarded to Roland Pease for outstanding science journalism that illuminates a range of geoscience topics, particularly those of interest to Europe and European citizens, in both radio and print outlets.
2021 Katia and Maurice Krafft Award
The 2021 Katia and Maurice Krafft Award is awarded to Annie Ockelford for her sustained, passionate, innovative, and diverse approach to geoscience outreach and engagement, particularly for underrepresented and hard-to-reach audiences.
2021 Union Service Award
The 2021 Union Service Award is awarded to Julia C. Hargreaves in recognition of her outstanding contributions over many years to the creation, promotion, and development of the internationally recognized EGU journal Geoscientific Model Development.
