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.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Young Scientist Awards / 2014 / Robert Hilton
In addition, Hilton’s work is concerned with the geomorphic controls on nitrogen isotopes in mountain forests, and the oxidation of fossil carbon in stream systems. His work at the forefront of geociences makes him an outstanding recipient of this award.
Home / Awards & medals / Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership / 2017 / Jean-Pierre Brun
Using his skills in field observation and analogue experiments, he made a remarkable contribution on the dynamics of extension. He was one of the first to model the exhumation of mantle rocks and lithospheric boudinage in the continent-ocean transition, soon after mantle rocks were discovered in the distal parts of passive margins.

In addition, he developed a number of MHD turbulence shell models which were able to explain several relevant phenomena in solar physics, such as the anisotropy of the turbulent cascade in the solar wind, the statistical properties of solar flares, and the evolution of MHD turbulence in the magnetic loops of the solar corona.
Home / Awards & medals / David Bates Medal / 2000 / Siegfried J. Bauer
Siegfried J. Bauer The 2000 David Bates Medal is awarded to Siegfried J. Bauer in recognition of his eminent contributions in the fields of aeronomy and planetary atmospheres. Prof. Siegfried Bauer received his PhD in geophysics, meteorology and physics in 1953 from the Univ. of Graz in Austria.
Home / Awards & medals / Beno Gutenberg Medal / 2005 / Keiiti Aki
In Aki’s original research he has covered an extremely broad range of problems in seismology. His creativity in approaching topics at the forefront of seismology is based on his invention of new experiments blended with a superb mastery of the theoretical background.
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Néel Medal / 2009 / Yves Guéguen
Shortly after finishing his These d’Etat still in Nantes, Yves received his appointment to Professor of Geophysics at the University in Strasbourg in 1981. The move to Strasbourg was also associated with a shift in focus of Yves’ main research interests from high-temperature plastic flow in the mantle towards mechanical and transport properties of crustal rocks.
Home / Awards & medals / Plinius Medal / 2025 / Annegret Henriette Thieken
Thieken is a leading figure in the modern understanding of flood risks and the design and implementation of risk reduction, management, and adaptation strategies. After graduating in Environmental Sciences from the Technical University of Braunschweig, she obtained a PhD in environmental geology from the Martin Luther University of Halle for her research on pollution patterns of regional groundwater contamination in the Bitterfeld-Wolfen mining area, Germany.
Home / Awards & medals / Lewis Fry Richardson Medal / 2016 / Peter L. Read
Recently, Read and his students achieved a breakthrough in the understanding of a major puzzle in Martian atmospheric dynamics, the variability of global dust storms that occur in some years and not in others. In 1992, Read led the development of one of the first general circulation models of the Martian atmosphere.
