More information The European Geosciences Union ( EGU ) is Europe’s premier geosciences union, dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the Earth, planetary, and space sciences for the benefit of humanity, worldwide. It is a non-profit interdisciplinary learned association of scientists founded in 2002 with headquarters in Munich, Germany.
Home / Awards & medals / Philippe Duchaufour Medal / 2022 / Mary K. Firestone
It is impressive to see that her thirst for better understanding of soil functioning still runs high: in the last years she has included new biological players in the picture, namely viruses. Her induction at the USA National Academy of Sciences is a clear recognition of her outstanding scientific achievements.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2022 / Nicoletta Leonardi
In a series of key papers, Leonardi has neatly deconstructed the impact of different coastal processes on coastal landscape change, using these modelling tools to show the importance of wind waves on salt marsh environment stability and highlighting how waves are important in controlling the rates of salt marsh deterioration across the world.

His outstanding contribution to the understanding of mantle dynamics beneath the Mediterranean and the way it is recorded in the crust has deeply changed our perception of past and present tectonic activity in this region and renewed our way of looking at both subduction and back-arc extension in the Mediterranean and elsewhere.

Home / Awards & medals / Young Scientist Outstanding Poster Paper (YSOPP) Awards / 2005 / Ana Aguiar
The present work aims to study the response of a detached shear layer to boundary conditions of different topography, combined with either prograde or retrograde mechanical forcings, in a barotropic rotating fluid. Her particular interests are in laboratory experiments and numerical simulation of hydrodynamic instabilities and their applications in geophysical and planetary fluid dynamics.
Home / Jobs / PhD Position on AI Weather Modeling
The position is located in the Chair of Theoretical Meteorology, a leading group in atmospheric dynamics research, including AI weather prediction, at the LMU, one of the top research universities in Germany. The Project The last three years have brought a revolution in weather forecasting – models based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) now outperform classic numerical weather prediction models on many scores, while running 100 times faster.
