Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Awards / 2024 / Márton Pál
He is the secretary of the Hungarian ProGEO within the Hungarian Geological Society, which deals with the scientific background of geoeducation and geoheritage management in the country. At EGU 2024, Márton presented a poster that examined the difference between geotourists’ attitudes in a French and Hungarian sample area.

Through a series of innovative experiments, he has demonstrated that people generate OH in the presence of ozone via the ozonolysis of skin-emitted alkenes. Up to that point, is had been assumed that ozone reactions dominate organic compound oxidation in the indoor environment, but his team showed that the OH radicals generated by the so-called “human oxidation field” are sufficiently high to outcompete ozonolysis.
Home / Awards & medals / Petrus Peregrinus Medal / 2023 / Lisa Tauxe
Lisa Tauxe The 2023 Petrus Peregrinus Medal is awarded to Lisa Tauxe for world leading expertise in palaeo- and rock-magnetism, development of advanced experimental methods, and far reaching service to the community via books, program packages and database. Lisa Tauxe is widely recognized as a trailblazer in the field of palaeomagnetism.
Home / Awards & medals / Fridtjof Nansen Medal / 2015 / Peter A. E. M. Janssen
This underpins his ongoing recognition as an international leader in wind-wave research and development of the modern ocean forecast model systems.
Home / Awards & medals / Ralph Alger Bagnold Medal / 2011 / Stuart Lane
Stuart Lane The 2011 Ralph Alger Bagnold Medal is awarded to Stuart Lane for his critical contributions to our understanding of the basic processes in rivers affecting river flow, sediment transport and river ecology through the combination of detailed field work, advanced data collection techniques and critical theoretical insights as well as for his leadership in communicating geomorphological expertise to practitioners’ in landscape management and planning.

18 December 2018 The EGU has announced the 17 training schools in the Earth, planetary or space sciences that it will provide support for in 2019. In addition, the EGU is also funding two Galileo Conferences, and four conferences within the EGU conferences series. In total, the Union is contributing EUR 132,000 towards the organisation of geoscience conferences and training schools by EGU members.
Home / News / Press releases / General Assembly 2013 Media Advisory 3 – Full press conference schedule, online registration closing tomorrow
Wednesday, 10 April, 12:00 The ongoing cholera epidemic in Haiti, the worst outbreak of the disease in recent years with a death toll of 8,000 to date, resulted from the exposure to pathogens in a contaminated river. In the US, a fungal meningitis outbreak in late 2012 with some 500 documented cases was linked to a fungus found in soil.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2017 / Adrian Metzgen
Andreas Dahmke`s chair for Applied Geology, Aquatic Geochemistry and Hydrogeology in the Institute of Geosiences at Kiel University, Germany. He is generally working in the field of geo energy storages, and his contribution to the EGU general assembly 2017 was based on his Bachelor thesis, focusing on the impact of the pH on hydrogen oxidizing redox processes in aquifers due to gas intrusions and examining potential consequences in case of a gas leakage accidently caused by an underground hydrogen gas storage.

Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2026 / Matthias Sinnesael
One of Sinnesael’s most impactful efforts was the co-ordination of a global meeting that brought together researchers to critically evaluate existing methodologies in his field. This led to community-wide recommendations for best practices, and the resulting publication has been influential in shaping how studies of Earth’s past are conducted.
