Home / News / EGU news / Nominating someone for an EGU Medal or Award is easier than you think!
Nomination package: the candidate's CV, usually accompanied by a bibliography or evidence in support of the award (such as samples of published science reporting). Several awards ONLY require the CV. And that's it! EGU encourages the nomination of under-represented people in science, especially encouraging nominees to think about gender , career stage and geographic diversity in nominations.

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.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2025 / Carolina Giorgetti
One of Giorgetti's most notable achievements was the conception, development, and calibration of a groundbreaking biaxial prototype apparatus at EPFL and the unique contribution in the development of other two prototypes in Roma. Her exceptional scientific acumen and tenacity were evident in her ability to overcome challenges and ensure the operational success of the prototypes.
Home / Awards & medals / Henry Darcy Medal / 2021 / Berit Arheimer
Berit Arheimer The 2021 Henry Darcy Medal is awarded to Berit Arheimer for her scientific leadership in policy-relevant large-scale modelling of water quality and quantity, promotion of open hydrology, and her excellence in managing research groups. Berit Arheimer distinguishes herself by state-of-the-art research on large-scale water quality and quantity modelling at different spatial scales, up to global hydrological modelling.
Home / News / EGU news / EGU webinar: making geoscience societies more inclusive
EGU also promotes the inclusion of under-represented groups in all our events (such as the annual General Assembly) and committees, and as recipients of our medals and awards. However, despite our ambitions, many groups remain under-represented in EGU at all levels. This is not an issue unique to geoscience societies.

In the case of floods, the novelty of this framework is that it enabled a process-based approach for linking flood changes not just to environmental drivers, but also to demographic changes and economic cycles, and representing these interactions by a system of coupled, non-linear dynamic equations.

The package includes 3 hands-on practices that can be proposed within a regular course to support students’ understanding of the theoretical contents delivered in lectures. The practices follow the typical workflow in flood hazard studies: estimation of design flood discharges, mapping of inundation hazard and definition of strategies to manage flood risk.
