Home / Awards & medals / Lewis Fry Richardson Medal / 2006 / Roberto Benzi
This theory provided a quantitative way to validate the basic mechanism of topographic instability for alternation between zonal and blocked flows in mid-latitudes. The pioneering use of multifractal measures to describe the structure of strange attractors in dynamical systems. The formulation of the Lattice Boltzmann Equation (LBE) for direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows, now widely used in many fields of computational fluid dynamics.

After a postdoctoral stay at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, he returned to Germany to take up a position at the Alfred Wegener Institute of Polar and Marine Research, where he was promoted to Senior Scientist in 2001. In 2008 he was appointed Full Professor of Climate Physics at the Physics Institute of the University of Bern in Switzerland.
Home / Profile / Mioara Mandea
Mioara Mandea has a broad international education and has worked in Romania, France, and Germany. She graduated in Engineering in Geology and Geophysics from the University of Bucharest before obtaining doctorates from the University of Bucharest in geophysics and geophysical prospecting in 1993 and from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris in internal geophysics in 1996.
Home / Awards & medals / Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal / 2009 / J. Ray Bates
He has made numerous pioneering contributions in dynamic meteorology, in the development of numerical methods for NWP and climate models, and in climate theory. Prof. Bates began his research career studying the dynamics of the intertropical convergence.
Home / Awards & medals / Beno Gutenberg Medal / 1997 / Vastislav Cervený
In 1964 he became associate professor and in 1987 full professor at the Institute of Geophysics, Charles University. From the beginning, his work was oriented on studies of theoretical, and later on, numerical aspects of wave propagation in complex media.

Sergej Zilitinkevich The 2000 Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal is awarded to Sergej Zilitinkevich for his outstanding contribution to the creation of modern theory of turbulent boundary layers in the atmosphere. Sergej Zilitinkevich is one of the creators of the modern theory of planetary boundary layers in the atmosphere and the ocean. His scientific papers and books are well known throughout the world and are often referred to in all major journals on atmospheric and oceanic sciences.

Home / Awards & medals / David Bates Medal / 2012 / Hans Rickman
Rickman investigated in detail the dynamic evolution of long-period comets, addressing the problem of the origin of the Oort cloud, and the role of the galactiv environment on this flux. He made a major contribution in showing, in connection with the Nice Model, that the scattered disk of TNOs is a more likely source for Jupiter-family comets than the Kuiper Belt.

Oganov has personal and deep thoughts about the meaning of research in modern mineralogy. His phenomenological processing of the effect of internal degrees of freedom on equations of state of complex solids is of great interest and is a good example of this intellectual level. A. Oganov has convincingly demonstrated that Al 2 SiO 5 will not form a separate phase in the lower mantle of the Earth.
