Nutrient transport by streams and in coastal areas followed in the same theoretical line of thought, and included critical case studies of climate-change-induced nitrogen loads in surface waters. Particularly significant in this area is the study of the nutrient loads discharging into the entire Baltic Sea and their prospective changes and impacts.

Dungey, must surely rank above all others. Dungeys accomplishments are monumental. Many of the major concepts and theories in space plasma physics and, in particular, in magnetospheric physics, owe their creation to Dungey. He has unselfishly helped to train many of the present leaders in the field.
Home / Awards & medals / Henry Darcy Medal / 2008 / Hubert H.G. Savenije
Special mention must be made of the fact that Professor Savenije was one of the chief organizers of the 2nd World Water Forum held in The Hague in 2000. It was this forum that helped put “water” firmly on the international political agenda.

In addition, he is developing new in situ techniques to measure the rheology of mantle minerals under very low strain-rates, using neutron-diffraction monitoring of elastic strain. These data will be vital in understanding the coupling mechanisms between crustal and mantle motions and underpinning numerical models of mantle convection.

He was born in Surrey in 1952 and completed a B.A. in Environmental Sciences at the University of Lancaster in 1973 and an M.Sc. (1974) and Ph.D. (1977) at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In the late 1970s, Phil Jones first conceived the idea of developing a gridded database of surface temperatures.
Home / Awards & medals / Plinius Medal / 2011 / Raphaël Paris
In summary, Raphaël Paris has obtained outstanding research achievements in the field of natural hazards, combining studies of geological volcanic hazards, tectonic hazards and tsunami hazards.

Early in his career, he used simple yet innovative statistical tests to show that regular patterns in drainage networks (reflected in Horton ratios) are not reliable indicators of either randomness or geomorphic process, as decades of studies on the topic and dozens of textbooks had suggested.
Home / Awards & medals / Fridtjof Nansen Medal / 2013 / Harry Bryden
Harry Bryden The 2013 Fridtjof Nansen Medal is awarded to Harry Bryden for his long-term leadership in experimental physical oceanography and in understanding the mechanisms of the general ocean circulation and heat transport. Harry Bryden has made many fundamental contributions to our understanding of the ocean circulation through careful measurements and analysis of the resulting data that he has undertaken in all of the world’s oceans.
Home / Awards & medals / Hans Oeschger Medal / 2014 / Sherilyn C. Fritz
Sherilyn C. Fritz obtained her PhD in ecology from the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, USA) and is now a research scientist at the department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, also in the US. Fritz is a specialist in the ecology and palaeoecology of recent and fossil diatoms and combines this with both biological and Earth sciences.
Home / Awards & medals / Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal / 2021 / Susan E. Trumbore
For many years she served on several scientific committees of the National Research Council, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Geophysical Union, including as the first president of the Biogeoscience Section. Additionally, Trumbore was editor-in-chief of the journal Global Biogeochemical Cycles and is now editor-in-chief of the new open access journal AGU Advances.
