- Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal
The 2023 Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal is awarded to Susan L. S. Stipp in recognition of her fundamental research and unique applications of nano-geochemistry and mineralogy.
Division on Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology
President: Holly J. Stein
(gmpv@egu.eu)
Deputy President: Marian Holness
(marian@esc.cam.ac.uk)
The disciplines Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology, and Volcanology (GMPV) are the nexus of Earth processes. The GMPV Division addresses the chemical and physical properties of minerals that build our planet and their impacts on humanity and Earth’s habitability. The topics that fall under the GMPV purview include volcanic unrest and eruption; formation and evolution of continental crust; the role of atmospheric composition in habitability, via the geochemical record linked to mass extinctions; and the chemistry of the deep Earth, from mantle to core, including isotope geochemistry and radiometric dating. The science covered by GMPV also includes ocean chemistry and its control by ocean floor magmatism, weathering and erosion of continental crust, or cosmic input. The GMPV scope includes the traceability of fluid migration within the Earth through the study of ore deposits, geothermal systems as well as modifications of deep-seated rocks. In sum, the disciplines encompassed by the GMPV Division collectively describe the workings of complex and inter-connected systems in the Earth, providing the opportunity to speculate about other potentially habitable planets.
The GMPV division collaborates with the VGP division of the American Geophysical Union, and with professional societies like the European Association of Geochemistry and the European Mineralogical Union.

How can fossil Geothermal System enhance Present Exploration?
- Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology
- posted 16 hours ago
Geothermal resource development faces a major obstacle: the expensive exploration process. Unsuccessful drilled wells can discourage interest and disrupt economic plans. Understanding the relationship between geologic structures and geothermal fluid flow is critical to successful exploration. Various methods, such as geochemistry, geophysics, structural analysis and modeling, aim to create a reliable model to guide exploration plans. Studying both exhumed and active geothermal systems becomes fundamental to reduce uncertainties and to build pre-drilling models. This approach, using past systems as a …

Geological TrIPS: The amazing fragments of oceanic crust treasured on the Greek island of Syros
- Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology
- posted 1 month ago
Geologists are often fascinated by the processes (and their products) taking place at the sea. Perhaps the fact that we do not have easy access to most of these processes is what puzzles us as geoscientists. Subduction can be considered as one of these “mysterious” processes for which several mechanisms remain to be better understood. Fortunately, subduction zones can be studied through their ancient analogues allowing us to access “frozen” pieces of crust, now scattered around the globe. In these …
Current issue of the EGU newsletter
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.
