Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Awards / 2025 / Leona Repnik
Dr. Stuart Lane (University of Lausanne) and Prof. Dr. Francesco Comiti (University of Padova). She is part of the ALTROCLIMA project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Autonomous Province of Bozen-Bolzano, a collaboration between the University of Lausanne and the Free University of Bolzano, aiming to understand Alpine sediment trends under rapid climate change.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Awards / 2015 / Michael Stoelzle
During his PhD thesis he focused on catchment storage analysis and the climate sensitivity of catchments in order to improve low flow and streamflow drought prediction. His EGU 2015 poster “Improved baseflow characterization in mountainous catchments” presents a novel baseflow separation method to identify multiple delayed streamflow contributions in order to characterize the origins of these contributions by assessing seasonality and constancy of the streamflow regimes.
Home / Awards & medals / Marie Tharp Medal
This medal, initially established in recognition of the scientific achievements of Stephan Mueller in 1997, was renamed in honour of Marie Tharp in 2025, while both medals co-existed between 2022 and 2025. It is awarded to scientists in recognition of their outstanding contributions to tectonics and structural geology.

Introduction Europe relies on a diverse range of energy resources, both finite and renewable. Since 1990, the EU’s energy intensity has decreased and the use of renewables has strongly increased [1]. In 2012, the share of renewable energy consumed in Europe reached 11%, compared to 4.3% in 1990.

European Geophysical Society Gayus Plinius Secundus, Plinius the Old Gayus Plinius Secundus, known as Plinius the Old was born in 24 A.D., in Como, in the Italian Peninsula. Although their first works were treatises on military strategy, after the rise of Nero as Emperor of Rome, he left the army and devoted himself entirely to science. His main scientific legacy consists of 37 volumes of the work "Naturalis Historia" (Natural History).
Home / Awards & medals / Henry Darcy Medal / 2014 / Upmanu Lall
This work also led Lall to the question of hydrologic predictability, of which he is the foremost authority amongst current leaders. His work on the strengths and limitations of spatially explicit models of global and regional climate helped to focus his interest in seasonal to millennial scale dynamics of hydro-climatic systems.

Home / News / EGU news / EGU announces extensive annual meeting fee-waiver scheme
“I greatly appreciate this initiative.” 2021 will be the first time that undergraduate and master’s students will be able to register for EGU’s annual meeting for free, an opportunity that van der Beek hopes many Earth, planetary, and space science students will take advantage of. Sabrina Kainz, a junior majoring in geology at the University of Colorado-Boulder in the U.S., plans to. “As an undergraduate, taking part in a large-scale conference is an excellent chance to gain exposure to the workings of being a research geologist, but I have never been able to participate due to conflicts with classes and the lack of funds,” she says.

8 April 2019 Two €1000 EGU Public Engagement Grants are awarded each year to EGU members interested in developing an outreach project to raise awareness of the geosciences outside the scientific community. The EGU Outreach Committee has named Philip Heron as one of this year’s winners for his project ‘Think like a scientist’, a 7-week Earth and planetary science course taught inside prisons in England.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2018 / Maxim Khudyakov
Maxim Khudyakov is a PhD researcher in the School of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering at the University of Western Australia (Australia). His research focuses on the interaction of fragmented materials and energy dissipation thereof. In the current study, a mathematical model of the dynamics of fragmented media is created.
