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.

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.

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.

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.

Her main research interests are the measurements of tropospheric ozone in the tropical West Pacific and related chemical and dynamical processes in this region important for the supply of chemical species to the stratosphere. After initially setting up an atmospheric research station in Palau as part of the EU project StratoClim, she conducted several balloon-sounding campaigns since 2016 cooperating also with NASA and NOAA (POSIDON 2016, ACCLIP 2020).

Auguste Gires is an “Ingénieur des Ponts Eaux et Forêt”, currently resarch assistant in Ecole des Ponts ParisTech in Paris. He works in the “Hydrometeorology and complexity” team of « Laboratoire Eau Environnement et Systèmes Urbains LEESU ». He is in the last year of his PhD, under the supervision of Pr. Daniel Schertzer.

His main focus, however, has been on the nature of Earth’s past magnetic field. He tackled a conundrum posed by two nearly coeval paleomagnetic directions reported in rocks of the Ediacaran Period from northern Quebec, formed some 565 million years ago. In an experimental tour de force, he analyzed the magnetism of oriented single silicate grains.

He led one of the first deployments of GPS receivers to survey tectonic motions in southern and central California and subsequently broadened his work to include major parts of the south-western U.S. as well as Asia.
