Home / Awards & medals / Philippe Duchaufour Medal / 2012 / José Torrent
José Torrent The 2012 Philippe Duchaufour Medal is awarded to José Torrent for his contribution on the mineralogy of iron oxides and the iron and phosphorus biogeochemical cycle in the soil-plant system. José Torrent was born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1945. He has spent his life as professor of Soil Science in the University of Córdoba.

Ekaterina Didenkulova NP Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences The 2020 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to Ekaterina Didenkulova for her exceptional contribution in developing the theory of nonlinear waves in geophysics, and in particular for the development of extreme waves, known as rogue waves.
Home / Awards & medals / Plinius Medal / 2004 / Romualdo Romero March
Romualdo Romero March The 2004 Plinius Medal is awarded to Romualdo Romero March for his achievements in improving our knowledge and forecasting of natural hazards induced by severe weather. Romualdo Romero was born in 1970 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. After studying Physics in the University of Balearic Islands he obtained the Extraordinary Award of this University for his memory of Ph.D.

He started his groundwater activities at the University of Stuttgart in 1981. In 1988 he was appointed full professor of Technical Hydraulics and Hydrology at the University of Kassel and in 1993 full professor of Environmental Physics at the University of Heidelberg. Since 1996 he is full Professor of Hydromechanics and Water Resources Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zürich.
Home / Awards & medals / Alfred Wegener Medal & Honorary Membership / 2006 / Lawrence A. Mysak
The originality of his contributions and of those of his Centre for Climate and Global Change explains the reputation of L. Mysak not only in Canada, but also in the rest of the world. He is a member of Academia Europaea and a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and of the American Meteorological Society.
Home / Awards & medals / Philippe Duchaufour Medal / 2009 / Fiorenzo Cesare Ugolini
He documented the presence of unfrozen interfacial films of water in frozen Antarctic soils, enabling to explain ionic migration and weathering under the extreme cold and xeric conditions of continental Antarctica. He indicated the role of podzolization in the formation of peatland in S.E. Alaska, and the contemporaneity of podzolization in the Alaska at 69° north.
Home / News / In memory of Marco Beltrando
In his young career he reached very important results about the recognition of hyper-extended margins in the collisional belt of the Western Alps, which may be of major importance for the understanding of other orogenic belts all around the world. Another major result was the recognition of heating-cooling cycles in rift systems.
Home / Awards & medals / Milutin Milanković Medal / 2003 / George Kukla
But George Kukla’s interest in the astronomical theory does not rely only on the loess and the oceanic sediments. He is interested by linking different types of forcing, studying the impact of present concentration of CO 2 , the albedo variation due to the variation of the snow cover, impact of insolation on ENSO and on the cycle of atmospheric water vapor; all the elements playing an important role in the climate theory.

Subsequently, he held a Natural Environment Research Council postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Leicester, UK. In 1989, he took up a position of Lecturer in Palaeontology at the University of Leeds, where he was promoted to Reader in Palaeoenvironments in 1999 and Professor of Palaeoenvironments in 2005. In 2004, he was awarded the James Lee Wilson Award of the Society for Sedimentary Geology for excellence in sedimentology.
