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.

His current efforts align closely with the Energy Resources and Environment Division’s mission, promoting sustainable geothermal systems in the Netherlands and Iceland, thermal energy storage in repurposed coal mines in Slovenia and Poland, and hydrogen storage in the Dutch North Sea. Beyond research, Cao is a dedicated community leader.

Subsequently, he focussed on a wider range of problems throughout the field of geodynamics, such as crystal segregation within dikes, the effects of material heterogeneities on rifting and necking, and the obduction of oceanic plates.

In relative terms this means that these rivers can export their annual bedload sediment budget in 12 hours. This therefore shows how ‘flashy’ the rivers in Greece are and highlights how the transport of bedload occurs predominantly in high-discharge events, which occur less frequently.

Julia C. Hargreaves The 2021 Union Service Award is awarded to Julia C. Hargreaves in recognition of her outstanding contributions over many years to the creation, promotion, and development of the internationally recognized EGU journal Geoscientific Model Development. In 2008 Hargreaves became a founding executive editor of EGU’s Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) and has played a critical role in the intellectual development and practical success of the journal ever since.

Her work as a member of Space Climate Research Group focuses on Sun-driven climate variations and their influence on society’s energy consumption and production. The study presented and awarded at EGU 2023 investigates how the influence of geomagnetic activity on Northern Annular Mode (NAM) can be seen in the wintertime electricity consumption in Finland.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Awards / 2022 / Ramesh Glückler
Ramesh Glückler is a PhD candidate at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Potsdam, Germany. His research focus lies on better understanding interactions between changing wildfire regimes, vegetation, climate, and human activity. Main research interest is the long-term reconstruction of past boreal wildfire activity using burn products buried in lake sediments, and the simulation of fire-vegetation interactions in an ecological model.

For example, the record-breaking June 2021 heatwave in the Pacific Northwest was deemed “impossible” by widely applied standard statistical methods. Based on large ensemble climate model data, it could be shown that similar “impossible” events arise in simulations, indicating that statistical biases must be considered in the attribution process of extreme events.
