Nickovic has dedicated a great part of his life to improving our knowledge of mineral dust cycles. Dust is a natural hazard that severely negatively impacts human health, air and land transport, energy, and agriculture and affects hundreds of millions of people in dozens of countries, resulting in a huge number of deaths annually around the globe.

Van Hoolst and his team have also worked on determining the interior structure of Mars. In particular, they have shown that a Martian inner core could potentially be detectable, if it was of a size which happened to produce a resonant response in either polar motion or nutation. Van Hoolst received several prestigious prizes, among them the Descartes Prize of the European Union and the Vanderlinden Prize of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Belgium.

Receiving the EGU Public Engagement Grant is an honour and an incredible support to undertake this project and to raise awareness of climate change among prisoners, a hard-to-reach audience who don’t have much access to science outreach activities.” In addition EGU has funded the project ‘A taste of climate change’ which aims to raise awareness of climate change in rural communities by allowing people to experience potential impacts to relevant food production systems in the form of small tasting events using locally produced food and beverages.

This insight enabled deeper exploration of energy transfer processes, spectral breaks, and turbulence evolution in solar wind features, including interplanetary shocks. In dusty plasma research, they developed a unique lab facility capable of measuring electrostatic charges on individual dust grains.
