Home / Forms / Science for Policy Workshop Proposal
Aims The EGU Science for Policy Working Group , in partnership with the Outreach Committee, is soliciting the development and delivery of one online workshop series provide training for our members in various aspects of science for policy for 2026. These sessions should focus on strengthening the capacity of geoscientists to engage effectively with policy processes at local, national, European, and international levels.

More information The European Geosciences Union ( EGU ) is Europe’s premier geosciences union, dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the Earth, planetary, and space sciences for the benefit of humanity, worldwide. It is a non-profit interdisciplinary learned association of scientists founded in 2002. The EGU has a current portfolio of 15 diverse scientific journals, which use an innovative open access format, and organises a number of topical meetings, and education and outreach activities.

As the temperature rises, you would expect the ice on our planet – in glaciers around the world and at the poles – to be melting faster. This is in fact what is happening to sea ice (frozen sea water) in the Arctic, the polar region at the far north of the Earth: it has been melting very fast. But at the southernmost part of our planet, in the Antarctic, the amount of sea ice has actually been increasing.
Home / Awards & medals / Milutin Milanković Medal / 2015 / Paul J. Valdes
Valdes has published more than 180 papers on a wide range of subjects, from palaeoclimate to future climate change to archaeology. Although primarily involved in using the state-of-the art climate models, he also led development of the UK Earth system models of intermediate complexity (GENIE) and for almost twenty years he has played a leading role in the Palaeoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP).
Home / Awards & medals / Julius Bartels Medal / 2010 / Karl-Heinz Glassmeier
Karl-Heinz Glassmeier The 2010 Julius Bartels Medal is awarded to Karl-Heinz Glassmeier . He is one of the few scientists worldwide who have worked in all of the sub-fields of geomagnetism, from ground to space, and thus can be called a true ‘Geomagnetiker’ in the sense of Bartels.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2019 / Peter Landschützer
While this was attempted previously, his elegant solution to this challenge broke an impasse and demonstrated that this is feasible once the problem is broken into a two-step procedure. The outcome of Landschützer’s work has become one of the gold standards in the determination of the role of the ocean for the global carbon cycle (e.g. his estimates are being used for the annual assessment of the global carbon budget by the Global Carbon Project), and has served as the basis for a number of outstanding and highly important papers.

Urs Baltensperger The 2014 Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal is awarded to Urs Baltensperger for his outstanding contributions to atmospheric aerosol science, in particular to the experimental characterisation of the anthropogenic and biogenic sources, properties and effects of organic aerosols. Urs Baltensperger is one of the most prominent, influential and successful scientists in the field of atmospheric aerosol research.
Home / Awards & medals / Fridtjof Nansen Medal / 2014 / Stephen M. Griffies
Stephen M. Griffies The 2014 Fridtjof Nansen Medal is awarded to Stephen M. Griffies for his outstanding contribution and leadership in ocean general circulation model development and critical insights in the physical nature and parameterisation of ocean processes. Stephen M. Griffies is the world’s foremost ocean circulation model developer. He is now the lead developer of the Modular Ocean Model, one of the most advanced ocean circulation modelling systems in the world.
Home / News / Press releases / vEGU21 Media Advisory: Press conference schedule
In this press conference, journalists will hear about new ‘geofingerprinting’ techniques that research teams have developed to trace the origin of one of cooking’s most important commodities and to detect the timing and climatic impacts of the colossal Toba volcanic eruption, one of the largest in the past ~2.6 million years.
