Vernadsky at the Biogeochemical Laboratory of Academy of Sciences of USSR in Moscow in 1935. He assisted Vernadsky in that time pioneering the study of isotopic composition of natural waters and in biogeochemical experiments. It was good school for young scientist. Unfortunately it was interrupted by World War II.
Home / Awards & medals / Hannes Alfvén Medal / 2010 / Donald Farley
Preston Levis Professor of Engineering (Emeritus in 2006). Farley’s Ph.D. thesis (1959) dealt with electrostatic fields in the ionosphere. At Cambridge he worked with J.P. Dougherty and there produced a series of papers dealing with the theory of incoherent scattering of radio waves that started in 1960.
Home / Awards & medals / Stephan Mueller Medal / 2009 / Stefan M. Schmid
Beginning in the 1980s, Schmid clarified the relationship of late orogenic faulting in the Alps to the structure of the lower crust and upper mantle imaged in geophysical transects. His cross sections of the Alps have become standard references in the tectonics literature.
Home / Awards & medals / Philippe Duchaufour Medal / 2010 / Georges Stoops
Stoops contributed substantially to the understanding of the genesis of arid and tropical soils, and the application of mineralogical techniques. He was one of the first to explore, in 1968, the possibilities of SEM techniques in micromorphology and his new concepts have been compiled in a renewed textbook Guidelines for the Analysis and Description of Soil and Regolith Thin Sections (2003).

EGS Lewis Fry Richardson Medallist - 2000 Benoit Mandelbrot for his pioneering work in introducing the concepts of fractal geometry and discovering the underlying simplicity of scale-independent phenomena, and for demonstrating their application in a wide variety of fields in geophysics and other areas of physical science Dr Benoit Mandelbrot is now widely recognized as one of the 'giants of nonlinear science, who pioneered the ideas and application of scaling concepts in many areas of science, including those of geophysical interest.
Home / Awards & medals / Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership / 2010 / Gerhard Haerendel
Gerhard Haerendel The 2010 Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership is awarded to Gerhard Haerendel for his pivotal role in the European exploration of space. Gerhard Haerendel has been a pivotal figure in the European exploration of space throughout his career. He was born in 1935, and received his Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) in Physics from the University of Munich in 1963.
Home / Awards & medals / Lewis Fry Richardson Medal / 2017 / Edward Ott
Many of the works of Ott in the field of geosciences are strongly aligned with the works of Lewis Fry Richardson, making this award particularly appropriate.
Home / Awards & medals / Stephan Mueller Medal / 2006 / Sierd A.P.L. Cloetingh
In 1988 he was appointed as full professor of Tectonics at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. In only a couple of years Sierd A.P.L. Cloetingh succeeded in establishing a strong group with excellent international connections, which rapidly rose to international prominence in the field of sedimentary basins research.
Home / Awards & medals / Ian McHarg Medal / 2018 / Kerstin A. Lehnert
During her career, Lehnert has published several papers in high-impact-factor journals consolidating the spread of the advances she has made in geoinformatics across the geosciences. Her ongoing record of creative and impactful scientific innovations in the interdisciplinary field of research cyberinfrastructures continues to be pivotal in advancing key aspects of Earth and space informatics.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2018 / Davide Faranda
Davide Faranda is a very talented young scientist who rapidly became an expert in dynamical systems theory, in extreme value theory, and in the application of these approaches in a wide range of fields in geosciences. After obtaining his MSc degree in physics at the University of Bologna, he completed, in 2013, his PhD degree in meteorology at the University of Hamburg in only 2.5 years with a thesis on ‘Extreme Value Theory for geophysical flows”.
