Home / Awards & medals / Portrait / Petrus Peregrinus
Petrus Peregrinus Petrus Peregrinus is known for writing the "Epistola de magnete" in 1269 which must be seen as the first scientific treatise ever written. He performed a series of remarkable experiments with spherical pieces of lodestone. He defined the concept of polarity for the first time in Europe, discovered meridians, distinguished and named the north and south poles of the magnet and observed that the magnetic force is strongest and vertical at the poles.

This includes EGU’s future President, Helen Glaves and the EGU General Secretary, Giuliana Panieri, who were voted in last October. To take care of this and other unfinished business, EGU has scheduled a virtual Plenary meeting that will take place on 22 October at 12:30 CEST . Although the in-person Plenary in Vienna typically has hundreds of attendees, EGU’s leaders are concerned that not as many of EGU members will take the time out of their busy days to log in to the Zoom meeting.

Home / Awards & medals / Young Scientist Outstanding Poster Paper (YSOPP) Awards / 2009 / Ufuk Hancilar
He has been involved in several EU funded projects, such as LessLoss, NERIES and TRANSFER, for the past five years. He worked as a visiting researcher at PEER Center of University of California, Berkeley. He has also professional experience as a seismic/structural engineer in the construction industry.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2018 / Roland Neofitu
Roland Neofitu is a researcher at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where he investigates the long-wavelength surface response resulting from mantle plumes with a focus on Africa. He completed his master’s degree at the LMU in 2018 working with Anke Friedrich. The poster presented at EGU 2018 was also investigated in his master thesis ‘Analysis of hiatal surfaces and the stratigraphic framework for the plume mode in the East African Rift System’.
Home / Education / Educational resources / Know your correlation: An interactive game
Introductory level, for the widest audience. No equations! For relatively new starters in the field of catastrophe risk management, or PhD students studying compound or multi-hazards studying compound or or multi-hazard risk. This training highlights how diversification is fundamental in the spread of risk, and how correlation (a.k.a. dependency) destroys diversification.
