Home / Awards & medals / David Bates Medal / 2002 / Dominique Bockelée-Morvan
Finally, I am also very happy that the David Bates medal is attributed this year to a woman. The small number of women in the scientific community is worrying. So, is the tiny number of EGS medals currently awarded to women. The recognition of the role of women in Sciences is of great importance to stimulate young women to follow this career path.

Home / Awards & medals / Ralph Alger Bagnold Medal / 2022 / Paola Passalacqua
Passalacqua has led the way in the application of network and graph theory to deltaic distributary-channel networks, which prove to be much more complex than previously described. Passalacqua has championed the paradigm of a delta “connectome”: an interconnected system analogous to neurons in the brain.
Home / Awards & medals / Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal / 2014 / Chris J. Hawkesworth
He has long served the Earth science community though notable editorships, participation in many international review panels and the Council of the European Union of Geosciences (now EGU) from 1997–2003. In recognition not only of his scientific contributions, but also his leadership and promotion of European geosciences, Hawksworth fully merits receipt of the Bunsen medal.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2021 / Maria Pregnolato
Her recent research on bridge safety has received recognition from both practitioners and industry. Pregnolato has been distinguished for her activity as a principal investigator (PI) and co-PI of major research projects, with substantial involvement in public outreach through science communication, and teaching as part of her academic role. She has a strong dedication to the research community with international connections, as a visiting assistant professor at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA, and she serves as an active ambassador for Women in Engineering (EPSRC Fellow of the Women in Engineering Society).
Home / Education / Planet Press / Articles / Picturing the Northern Lights
As the distance between our eyes – about 5 cm – is small, this only works for objects that are not very distant. The Northern Lights extend hundreds of kilometres in altitude so, when we look up to see them, we cannot determine how far away they are: to see aurora in 3D, we need a much larger separation distance. In Alaska, Ryuho used two photo cameras placed 8 km apart to act as ‘eyes’ that can see much further than a human’s.
Home / Profile / Zsanett Gréta Papp
As a mentee in the Women in Energy program and a regular speaker at international conferences, Zsanett actively promotes inclusive climate action, science diplomacy, and intergenerational dialogue.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2024 / Livia Lantini
Lantini has put remarkable efforts into fostering the dissemination of research to diverse audiences. In this respect, it is to highlight her involvement in mentoring and promoting early-career researchers and her contribution to supporting the career development of women in STEM-related research and subject areas at the University of West London, United Kingdom.
Home / News / Press releases / Using digital SLRs to measure the height of Northern Lights
After all, it was the beauty of 3D imaging of auroras that inspired Kataoka to develop a new tool for scientific research in the first place. More information This research is presented in the paper ‘Stereoscopic determination of all-sky altitude maps of aurora using two ground-based Nikon DSLR cameras’ to appear in the EGU open access journal Annales Geophysicae on 6 September 2013.
Home / Awards & medals / Lewis Fry Richardson Medal / 2013 / Jürgen Kurths
Kurths’ work on synchronisation of coupled chaotic oscillators has led to the wide use of phase synchronisation and lag synchronisation in the analysis of networks of oscillators, and his work on coherence resonance has added considerably to our understanding of resonances in general.
