Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Awards / 2022 / Austin Arias
He is working on understanding devolitization processes in subduction zone environments using generative machine learning models. His current research is focused on serpentinite dehydration and investigating what drives the formation of dehydration vein networks in serpentinite and how it can help us quantify volatile fluxes in subduction zones.

My study area is the southwestern Weddell Sea where the ocean interacts with the Filchner Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS), which is by volume the larges ice shelf in Antarctica. My research focuses on the seasonal and interannual variability in the flow of Warm Deep Water (WDW), a derivative of Circumpolar Deep Water, onto the continental shelf along the eastern flank of the Filchner trough. Models predict an increases WDW flow towards FRIS in the future climate.

Das Rajkakati (@PriyankaSpace) adds, “I’m really looking forward to vEGU21, where I’ll be able to implement all the ideas that have been taking form in my mind since last year’s meeting. I strongly encourage other artists to join us and make Art+Science a common household term!” The Artist in Residence programme, which provides artists and scientists with opportunities to exchange ideas in person during the annual meeting, will remain an integral part of vEGU21.

Claude Duguay at the University of Waterloo in Ontario Canada. Ontario’s local climate is highly influenced by the Laurentian Great Lakes. Residing in this region, Janine found it fit to study the spatiotemporal behaviours and trends in lake effect snowfall and its predictor variables in response to a changing climate.
Home / Awards & medals / Alexander von Humboldt Medal / 2021 / Manfred R. Strecker
Strecker has successfully mentored numerous foreign students, researchers, and collaborators in the framework of international research and training programmes. He has published in leading international scientific journals, including Nature and Science, and has received more than 5000 citations, corresponding with an h-index of 72.
Home / Awards & medals / Vening Meinesz Medal / 2013 / Zuheir Altamimi
His papers on this topic, particularly in the context of the ITRF2005 realisation, are among the most cited articles in space geodesy. Other aspects of his algorithm development have also received attention, such as imposing inner constraints without distorting the geodetic network.
Home / Awards & medals / Milutin Milanković Medal / 2021 / Ayako Abe-Ouchi
She was a contributing author on the Third Assessment Report; lead author on the Fifth Assessment Report; and review editor for the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate. Abe-Ouchi has also been instrumental in the success of multiple model intercomparison studies. She is a member of the steering committee for the Paleoclimate Model Intercomparison Project (PMIP) and the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project (ISMIP) and has actively contributed to the experimental design of both.
Home / News / Press releases / Floating mats of plastic and plants are visible from space
As water hyacinths peacefully float down tropical rivers, plastic trash gets ensnared in the leaves and roots. A group of researchers is using hyacinths’ large patches to find river plastics in need of cleanup. “Ultimately understanding where plastics accumulate is needed to design efficient cleanup strategies,” says Louise Schreyers , a PhD candidate in hydrology at Wageningen University & Research.
Home / News / EGU news / EGU 2018 Public Engagement Grants awarded to Suzanne Imber and Fabio Bonali
Bonali will use the grant to help Italian students with motor disabilities explore geological sites in virtual reality. Suzanne Imber is an associate professor at the University of Leicester in the UK who won the BBC show ‘Astronauts: Do you have what it takes’ in 2017. The show gave Imber a “remarkable and unique platform for outreach and public engagement,” she explains in her proposal, and has since allowed her to engage over 17,000 children over a period of four months.

The EGU 2014 poster summarizes the results about concentration, size distribution and elemental composition of particles in the river Inn which were obtained by means of filtration and ensuing acid digestion resp. SEM/EDX analysis.
