European Geosciences Union
Division on Biogeosciences

Deputy President: vacant
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 researchers from the field of applied biogeosciences as well as industrial professionals. Experimental, conceptual, and modelling approaches are welcome.
The 2023 Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal is awarded to Tom Battin for fundamental contributions to the biogeosciences through studies linking biology, ecology, chemistry and hydrology to the functioning and of inland waters across scales.
The 2023 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to Hana Jurikova for her exceptional scientific contribution to the biogeosciences, improving our understanding of the causes and consequences of historic perturbations in the marine carbon cycle.
The 2023 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Marianne Böhm Characterizing forest structure using LiDAR and multi-frequency SAR remote sensing
The 2023 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Nicolò Anselmetto Assessing spatiotemporal resolution of variables in landscape-scale species distribution models
The 2023 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Rodrigo San Martin South American Chaco: fires, land-use and climate
The 2022 Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal is awarded to Adina Paytan for outstanding contributions to ocean biogeochemistry in the Earth’s present and past, and in particular, for leading the scientific community in linking the sulfur, phosphate and oxygen cycles.
The 2022 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to Ana Bastos for exceptional scientific contributions to the terrestrial biogeosciences, improving understanding of climate variability and land use change on the carbon uptake of terrestrial ecosystems.
The 2022 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Alexandra Pongracz The impact of winter warming on arctic-boreal gas-exchange
The 2022 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Bridget Warren Impacts of post-photosynthetic fractionation on the carbon isotopic composition of leaf wax n-alkanes under elevated CO2
The 2022 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Mercy Appiah The impact of high quality field data on crop model calibration
The 2022 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Steve Kwatcho Kengdo Long-term soil warming alters fine root dynamics and morphology, and their ectomycorrhizal fungal community in a temperate forest soil
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.
