Jaroslava Plomerová The 2024 Beno Gutenberg Medal is awarded to Jaroslava Plomerová for contributions to the development of sophisticated methodologies in the characterisation of anisotropic domains in the upper mantle, and their application to imaging of the lithosphere in Europe. Jaroslava Plomerova is one of the leading scientists in observational seismology in Europe.

This was very much in the spirit of Hannes Alfvén, who frequently emphasised the crucial importance of direct measurements of electric fields in space as a check on theory and simulation. As leader of the space research programme of the Division of Space and Plasma Physics of the Royal Institute of Technology, Göran Marklund has greatly contributed to the success of this research.

These studies have provided important constraints on the dynamics of volcanic system and related seismicity. In his research, he has been proactive in linking colleagues of multiple disciplines located worldwide, including Europe, North America and Japan. He has been particularly effective in mentoring tens of doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, many of whom have successfully established their careers in academia and industry all over the world.

Jean-Claude Duplessy The 1995 Milutin Milanković Medal is awarded to 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 Master’s thesis in geology at the University of Paris in 1967.

In volcanology his contributions include: understanding how the dynamics of bubbly magmas in conduits leads to episodic degassing behaviour at basaltic volcanoes, the role of magma permeability in controlling transitions between explosive and effusive eruptions, the non-linear dynamics of conduit flows from magma chambers, the role of compressibility in bubbly magmas and lavas, convection in lava lakes, the influence of volcanic edifices on the propagation of dykes and formation of magma chambers, and magma chamber control of eruption dynamics.

Mulder, as president of the Dutch State Committee an Arc Measurements, would later be the first employer of Vening Meinesz. The Convection Hypothesis The first time that Vening Meinesz made mention of the possibility of convection currents in the Earth is in a highly remarkable paper which appeared in 1934 in the proceedings of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Science entitled: "Gravity and the Hypothesis of Convection Currents in the Earth."

In 2002, a new mineral, a CaFe-arsenite was named after Terry Seward (sewardite) in recognition of his important contribution in the field of mineralogy. In summary, Terry M. Seward is a very versatile earth scientist who made profound, outstanding and fundamental contributions leading to breakthroughs in various fields of earth sciences with emphasis in high-temperature geochemistry.

The results of this venture provided the Manchester and Cambridge groups with striking new evidence in favour of Alfred Wegener's celebrated but then controversial "continental drift" hypothesis. Details of this story need not be given here, for they have been repeated many times in accounts of the events leading up to the introduction by others in the 1960's of the highly successful theory of plate tectonics.
