Home / Awards & medals / Sergey Soloviev Medal / 2020 / John J. Clague
Landslides have been a major focus of his research during the 47-year period since he published his first paper on large slumps in Point Reyes National Seashore in California. Clague has been an exemplary and driven geologist and scientist devoted to studying and better understanding the processes, mechanisms and consequences of various types of natural hazards since the 1970s.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / EGU Science for Policy Hangout
As the global push for decarbonization accelerates, so does demand for resources like lithium, copper, and nickel—fuelling new waves of mining in the Global South. While this expansion is framed as part of the green transition, it often comes at the cost of Indigenous lands, rural livelihoods, and ecosystems. Through a political ecology lens and drawing on her fieldwork in Ecuador, Cristina will unpack the tensions between global climate ambitions and local socio-ecological struggles.
Home / Meetings / Galileo Conferences
A limited number, typically about one hundred, internationally recognised scientists meet for 3 to 5 days to discuss and debate issues at the forefront of the discipline. The conferences are informal: the state-of-the-art is outlined in keynote presentations designed to trigger in-depth discussion of important aspects of the conference topic. Usually about 50% of the conference time is dedicated to debate and dialogue, culminating in a final round table discussion where future research directions are included.
Home / Awards & medals / John Dalton Medal / 1999 / Peter S. Eagleson
Eagleson The 1999 John Dalton Medal is awarded to Peter S. Eagleson for his outstanding contributions to theoretical hydrology and his tireless promotion of hydrology as an Earth System science. Peter S Eagleson’s interest in hydrology derived from his early background in Civil Engineering. His book “Dynamic Hydrology”, now regrettably out of print for many years, had a major impact on his hydrological colleagues, worldwide, who shared his view of hydrology as a distinct geoscience, grounded in physics.
Home / Awards & medals / Katia and Maurice Krafft Award / 2026 / Philip Heron
Philip Heron The 2026 Katia and Maurice Krafft Award is awarded to Philip Heron for the creation and co-ordination of the inspiring 'Think Like a Scientist' initiative: a geoscience educational program that brings science to hard-to-reach audiences, including people in the prison system. Philip Heron receives the 2026 Katia and Maurice Krafft Award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to geoscience outreach through the program 'Think Like a Scientist'.

Kendrick for an outstanding early career contribution to seismogenic processes and frictional melting in shallow magmatic conduits. Jackie Kendrick has produced 13 peer-reviewed articles, the majority of which in the brief time since being awarded her PhD in 2013 from the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich.

Winners of EGU medals and awards can be nominated as EGU ambassadors. In this role, they are delegated to attend meetings hosted by other organisations and to offer special presentations and lectures labelled as EGU contributions. The list of all EGU award and medal recipients is available in the past and present awardees section.
Home / Awards & medals / Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal / 2022 / Hugh Coe
He investigated the release of iodine from the marine biosphere and its role in new particle formation. Altogether, Hugh Coe’s body of work on understanding the chemistry and global distribution of aerosols provide the underpinning data used to develop and test our global atmospheric models, and are foundational in our assessments of air pollution and climate change.
