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.

Shirshov Institute of Oceanology in Moscow in 1999. In 2006 he ontained the title of Doctor of Science (the Highest Scientific Degree in Russia) in Physics and Mathematics (Oceanology) at the same P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology. He is presently Associate Professor at the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University.
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Néel Medal / 2010 / Teng-fong Wong
Teng-fong Wong The 2010 Louis Néel Medal is awarded to Teng-fong Wong for his outstanding contributions in rock mechanics. Teng-fong Wong is an internationally leading expert in the field of rock mechanics. He has spent most of his career at the Department of Geosciences at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he became a Professor of Geophysics in 1982.

EGS Milutin MilankovicŽ Medallist - 1995 Jean-Claude Duplessy in recognition of his outstanding contributions to isotopic geochemistry for the reconstruction of palaeo-oceanic circulations Jean-Claude Duplessy was born in 1942 in Paris. He studied physics and geology at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris and submitted a Masters thesis in geology at the University of Paris in 1967.
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Néel Medal / 1994 / Frank D. Stacey
A physicist by training, his interests in geophysics were aroused by Louis Néels’s 1955 review of the theory of rock magnetism in the journal Advances in Physics. This led him to develop a theory of thermoremanence in multi-domained grains, complementing Néels single-domain theory valid for grains less than about 0.5um in diameter.

In the field of earthquake prediction he showed that, in practice, the inference of a change in stress by the use of precursory changes in seismic velocity should be more difficult for deep sources.
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Néel Medal / 2005 / David L. Kohlstedt
He is one of only a handful of scholars who have made brilliant use of condensed matter physics to make seminal discoveries in the roles of point defects, water content and intergranular melt migration in the shear deformation of the lower crust and uppermost mantle of the Earth.
Home / Awards & medals / Hannes Alfvén Medal / 2009 / Albert A. Galeev
Galeev was elected as member of the Academiae Europaeae, and in 1994 of the Max Plank Society. In 1993 A.A. Galeev received the title ‘de Docteur Honoris Causa L’Université de Paris-Sud’ and the von Karman Prize of the International Academy of Astronautics.
Home / Awards & medals / Lewis Fry Richardson Medal / 2000 / Benoit Mandelbrot
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. Indeed, in his seminal paper published by Science in 1967, Dr B. Mandelbrot made not only widely known the posthumous publication of the work of L.F.
Home / Awards & medals / Christiaan Huygens Medal / 2019 / Lev V. Eppelbaum
Eppelbaum is an internationally highly recognised scientist. His achievements in different areas of geology and geophysics are impressive. He excels in the application of magnetics and gravimetry to the exploration of solid Earth geology, with special attention to the treatment of noise in geoscientific measurements.
