Mary Anning Conference applications open!

Mary Anning Conferences aim to promote novel and innovative research related to biogeochemical cycles in the Earth system and are named in honour of Mary Anning (1799–1847), an English palaeontologist and fossil collector.

The conferences intend to bring together experienced and career scientists for an interdisciplinary discussion on all aspects of chemical, physical, and biological processes and their interactions in the atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere.

The call for applications is now open (submission deadline 15 May 2026). 
 

Congratulations to our 2026 Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awardee Anne Klosterhalfen and Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medallist Thomas S. Bianchi. 
 

The contributions of Anne and Thomas to the Biogeosciences field will be celebrated at the General Assembly 2026. Don't miss their lectures!

The EGU awards & medals programme recognises every year scientists for their outstanding research contribution in the Earth, planetary and space sciences, and identifies the awardees as role models for the next generation of early career scientists to foster geosciences research.

Awards & medals nominations for the year 2027 are currently open. The deadline for submissions is 15 June 2026.
