The Division on Biogeosciences integrates biological, chemical, and physical sciences dealing with processes and interactions within terrestrial and extraterrestrial realms through the current and earlier geological history of Earth and Solar system in general. Its focus is beyond the established scientific approaches embracing multi- and interdisciplinary understandings of the Biosphere functioning in space and time. In this division, we encourage the participation of scientists across different disciplines, including researches from the field of applied Biogeosciences as well as industrial professionals. Experimental, conceptual, and modelling approaches are welcome.
The 2018 Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal is awarded to Antje Boetius for groundbreaking contributions to biogeosciences and spearheading research on methane-based metabolisms and the marine carbon cycle.
The 2018 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards is awarded to Alexa Wrede A novel approach to predict bioirrigation and increase predictability of biogeochemical cycling
The 2018 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards is awarded to Ivan Prokhorov Optical measurements of carbonate “clumped” isotope signatures
The 2018 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards is awarded to Jens Terhaar Model constraints on the anthropogenic carbon budget of the Arctic Ocean
The 2018 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards is awarded to Selma Kambunga Geophagy during pregnancy and its possible health impact: a case study from Onangama village, northern Namibia
The 2017 Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal is awarded to Jack J. Middelburg for his seminal contributions to biogeosciences, linking macrofaunal ecology and biogeochemical processes.
The 2017 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientists Award is awarded to Michaela A. Dippold for outstanding research in the field of terrestrial biogeosciences. The originality of her research is the use of position specific labeling of organic molecules to understand their turnover and fate in soil.
The 2017 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards is awarded to Joachim Jansen Carbon trace gas dynamics in subarctic lakes
The 2017 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards is awarded to Kimberly C. Galvez The Variability of Cold-water Coral Growth within the Straits of Florida
The 2017 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards is awarded to Raphael Weber Shaded trees save their carbon
The 2017 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards is awarded to Sara Milner Assessing the biomineralization processes in the shell microstructure of modern brachiopods: variations in the oxygen isotope composition and minor element ratios
This month, we have announced changes to the EGU General Assembly 2019 schedule, which aim to give more time for all presentation types. Check our news announcement for more information. If you’d like to apply for funding to attend the meeting next year, make sure to submit your conference abstract by 1 December! In other news, we have opened applications to the EGU General Assembly 2019 mentoring programme, and are advertising a job opportunity for geoscientists with science communication experience to work at the meeting.
Also this month, we opened the call for applications for EGU Public Engagement Grants, and have announced the creation of the EGU Working Group on Diversity and Equality. In addition, we opened the EGU Autumn 2018 Elections for the next EGU Treasurer: you have until 30 November to cast your vote. We’ll be announcing the results early next week.
