Home / Awards & medals / Arne Richter Awards for Outstanding Early Career Scientists / 2018 / Zhonghua Yao
Zhonghua Yao made significant scientific breakthroughs in understanding the key issues in the dissipation of planetary magnetospheric energy at Earth, Saturn and Jupiter and compared the development of associated large-scale current systems in these planetary magnetospheres.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2022 / Karin van der Wiel
Dr. van der Wiel actively engages with stakeholders in the development of the national climate scenarios in the Netherlands, in which she leads the work on droughts. Dr. van der Wiel is also heavily engaged in science communication, frequently appearing in national and international mediaand engaging with the public to explain weather and climate phenomena, sparking spark societal awareness.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2021 / Roberto Pierdicca
Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher in the department of civil, constructional, and environmental engineering at the Marche Polytechnic University in Ancona, Italy. In his research Pierdicca has developed and employed advanced approaches that use a wide range of modern geomatic technologies, including terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry, satellite remote sensing, terrestrial laser scanning, global positioning, and geographic information systems, in various application domains.
Home / Awards & medals / Hans Oeschger Medal / 2022 / Doug Smith
He created arguably the first global decadal climate forecast system, which started a worldwide climate research activity that now features prominently in reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as well as in activities of the World Climate Research Programme. He also leads the Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project, which aims to better understand interactions between sea-ice and atmospheric variability, and has conducted leading research on the role of climate noise in climate predictions and the possibility of climate model underestimation of predictable signals.
Home / Awards & medals / John Dalton Medal / 2026 / Thorsten Wagener
Wagener played a lead role in the International Association of Hydrologic Sciences’ Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) initiative, aimed at enabling better water resource management and risk assessment in data-scarce regions.
Home / News / EGU news / EGU to fund 17 training schools and conferences in 2020
3 February 2020 The EGU has announced the 14 training schools in the Earth, planetary and space sciences for which it will provide financial support in 2020. The EGU will also help sponsor two Galileo Conferences as well as one meeting in the EGU conferences series, bringing the Union’s total contribution toward the organisation of geoscience conferences and training schools convened by EGU members to EUR 105,000.

Furthermore, freshwater plastic pollution is also considered the dominant source of plastic input to the oceans. Despite this, research on plastic pollution in freshwater environments and data and knowledge from field studies are still limited. This session will explore the current state of knowledge and activities on macro-, micro- and nanoplastics in freshwater systems.
Home / Awards & medals / Stephan Mueller Medal / 2020 / Mathilde Cannat
As an expert of the lithosphere and ocean ridges, Mathilde made her first steps by studying ophiolites in the Klamath Mountains in California and the Chenaillet in the western Alps. Cannat’s work considers dynamics from the scale of the grain to the lithosphere, bridges from ocean depths to onshore outcrops, and combines a wide range of data acquisition techniques.
Home / News / EGU news / Thank you to all EGU volunteers who gave their time in 2024!
Many of you will have interactions with one of the 3735 volunteers who help organise the annual General Assembly , either as conveners or co-conveners of sessions, as members of the Programme Groups who co-ordinate the scientific content of the meeting, or in a range of other roles.
