European Geosciences Union
Division on Biogeosciences
President: Giuliana Panieri (bg@egu.eu)
Deputy President: Cornelia Rumpel
(cornelia.rumpel@grignon.inra.fr)
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
Earlier in October, we announced the winners of the 2019 EGU awards and medals: 45 individuals who have made significant contributions to the Earth, planetary and space sciences and who will be honoured at the 2019 EGU General Assembly next April. We have also announced the winners of the Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards corresponding to the 2018 General Assembly, which you can find on our website. Congratulations to all!
This month, we also opened the call for abstracts for the EGU 2019 General Assembly. If you are interested in presenting your work in Vienna in April, make sure you submit your abstract by 10 January 2019, 13:00 CET. If you would like to apply for a Roland Schlich travel grant to attend the meeting, please submit your abstract no later than 1 December 2018. All 2019 EGU members will be able to submit abstracts to the 2019 meeting. With a few exceptions, only one abstract as a first author will be permitted. Please find more information on the EGU website.
In November, EGU 2018 members will have the opportunity to vote for the next EGU treasurer in the EGU Autumn elections. Check the elections page on our website for more information.
