Interested in a transversal internship proposal suggested by the Laboratory of Planetology and Geodynamics of Nantes, she decided to study the generation of ice ripples during her first year of MSc. In this work, she developed a model in order to understand the mechanisms that generate periodic bedforms or “ice ripples” on terrestrial ice sheets and to evaluate the plausibility that similar bedforms may develop on Mars.

Friedrich Schott The 1997 Fridtjof Nansen Medal is awarded to Friedrich Schott for his numerous and outstanding contributions to the study of the large-scale circulation of the oceans and for his process-oriented work which has significantly enlarged our knowledge of deep ocean convection. Friedrich Schott received his BSc in 1961 and his PhD in 1964 from the University of Kiel, Germany.

Among these was the use of in situ iron enrichment experiments in HNLC areas to provide the proof of John Martin’s “iron hypothesis”. Another breakthrough was in the use of sulphur hexafluoride tracer release experiments to measure vertical diffusivity in deep water formation regions, critical areas for transporting atmospheric carbon dioxide into the deep ocean.

The concept of the PWS is to organise annual courses in different polar locations, which should rotate every year. Each of these locations is in the arctic but offers slightly different perspectives which helps to get deeper knowledge of arctic environments.

The vibration of the earthquake waves can also cause other older faults to ‘wake-up’, meaning they can build up enough energy to cause earthquakes again in the future. In March 2011 Japan suffered a large earthquake. The movement from this tremor displaced a large amount of water, causing a large wave known as a tsunami.

Examples of relevant areas include (but are not limited to) large-scale dynamics and feedbacks among physical, chemical, and biological processes at Earth’s surface, in the ocean, and in the atmosphere; the past evolution of Earth’s climate; coupling of biogeochemical cycling and climate dynamics in the past and present; and development of predictive frameworks for forecasting future global change and its impacts on the Earth system.

The EGU is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe, with our annual General Assembly (GA) being the largest European geoscience meeting. Presenting a contribution at the EGU GA can be an important step in the career of many early career scientists. In 2019, 16,273 researchers participated in our GA, of which 53% were under the age of 35.
