Home / Awards & medals / Jean Baptiste Lamarck Medal / 2007 / Alessandro Montanari
In addition he has built, starting from nothing, an important institute of geological research and teaching that now attracts researchers and students from all over the world. Alessandro Montanari was born in 1954, grew up in Ancona, and obtained his master’s thesis in 1979 from the University of Urbino with a study of the Upper Cretaceous- Paleocene-Eocene Scaglia pelagic limestone.
Home / Awards & medals / Alfred Wegener Medal & Honorary Membership / 2010 / Jean-Yves Parlange
In his Ph.D. research at Brown University he honed his deep understanding of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics in developing general principles governing the influence of different types of diffusion processes on laminar flows near flame interfaces.
Home / Awards & medals / Hans Oeschger Medal / 2016 / Paul A. Mayewski
He has been a world leader in the use of ice core records to document climate change, variations in atmospheric chemistry through time, as well as the historic role of human activities on atmospheric chemistry.
Home / News / Press releases / Glacier changes at the top of the world – Over 70% of glacier volume in Everest region could be lost by 2100
27 May 2015 If greenhouse-gas emissions continue to rise, glaciers in the Everest region of the Himalayas could experience dramatic change in the decades to come. A team of researchers in Nepal, France and the Netherlands have found Everest glaciers could be very sensitive to future warming, and that sustained ice loss through the 21 st century is likely.
Home / Awards & medals / Alexander von Humboldt Medal / 2007 / Liu Tungsheng
He played a key role in the establishment of the most effective state laboratories and institutions for environmental research, and in the development of environmental science in China. He devoted full emotion and enthusiasm, promoted international cooperation and communication involving a broad range of scientists who have interest in some way in loess, and collaborated fruitfully with scholars worldwide.

EGS Vilhelm Bjerknes Medallist - 1997 Brian J. Hoskins in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of atmospheric fronts and extratropical cyclones, and for his fundamental work in dynamic meteorology Brian Hoskins received his BA and PhD in mathematics from the University of Cambridge, UK, in 1966 and 1970, respectively.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / GI Campfire - Instrument Technology and its Applications in Geosciences.
He received the BSc and MSc in Geology and Applied Geology from the University of Naples Federico II (DiSTAR). His research interests include the characterisation and compensation of the fields induced by the mobile platform, the development of software for the management of the data flow and the application of the new magnetometric system in different study areas of geological, archaeological and engineering interest.
Home / Awards & medals / Portrait / Christiaan Huygens
While he was studying law, it was quite clear that his major interests were in physics and mathematics. He wrote his first scientific publication in 1649, De iis quae liquido supernatant (On hydrostatics). He was appointed member of the Royal Society in 1663 and in 1666 he became one of the first members of the French Academy of Sciences.
