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.

The activity sheet includes discussion points - seven questions the students can answer in groups of individually - links to videos of Leigh's simulations and instructions on how to carry out a simple experiment in atmospheric pressure. Go back
Home / Awards & medals / Arne Richter Awards for Outstanding Young Scientists / 2015 / Francesca Pianosi
Over the last couple of years, Pianosi has advanced the theory and practice of sensitivity analysis in environmental modelling by developing new algorithms and tools that she shares freely with others. Her individual research excellence and her highly collaborative nature – especially when it comes to supporting students in their endeavours – make her a worthy recipient of this honour.

EGS Badge Award 1997 Richard A. Harrison for his generous services as Vice-President of the Section on Solar-Terrestrial Sciences and for his invaluable contributions to the affairs of the Society Richard Harrison received his B.Sc in 1979 and his Ph.D. in 1983 from the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Home / News / Press releases / Mapping the path to rewilding: the importance of landscape
26 April 2021 MUNICH — Rewilding—a hands-off approach to restoring and protecting biodiversity—is increasingly employed across the globe to combat the environmental footprint of rapid urbanization and intensive farming. The recent reintroduction of grey wolves in Yellowstone, America’s first national park, is regarded as one of the most successful rewilding efforts, having reinvigorated an ecosystem that had been destabilized by the removal of large predators.

EGS Badge Award 1992 Thomas A. McClimans in recognition of his generous services as Vice-President of Section II and of his invaluable contribution in promoting the interests of Oceanography within the Society
Home / Awards & medals / Arne Richter Awards for Outstanding Young Scientists / 2014 / Noé Lugaz
A specific emphasis of Lugaz’s work has been the modelling of the interaction of various CMEs in space: he conducted the first 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interaction of CMEs from the Sun to the Earth.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Young Scientist Awards / 2014 / Rhodri Davies
The quality of his science is reflected not just in his significant publications and citations but also in his securing major funds in very competitive applications, his invited presentations, extensive collaborators, and his successful teaching and supervision of more junior scientists.
