Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2019 / Daniel Pastor-Galán
After completing his PhD at Universidad de Salamanca (Spain) in 2012, his research focused on the origin of the Ibero-Armorican Orocline, showing that it formed within a 10 million year interval in the Late Carboniferous–Early Permian. Pastor-Galán deduced the lithospheric response to orocline buckling and its possible detachment from the upper mantle within the context of the amalgamation of Pangea in the Late Palaeozoic.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Young Scientist Awards / 2014 / Nicolas Eckert
He did similar work on glacier mass balance series, demonstrating how improved statistical procedures help to extract refined patterns from geophysical data, which are among our best records of the cryospheric system. Eckert’s pioneering contribution to the modelling and inference of spatio-temporal patterns in avalanches, related geophysical processes and climate proxies is striking. He also highlighted the role of altitude in regional variations in avalanche activity.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Awards / 2023 / Alina Lucia Ludat
Her master’s thesis research revolved around understanding the response of vegetation and soils to active faulting, and the implications of this for ecosystem stability. In her awarded EGU presentation, she used multispectral satellite data and digital elevation models to demonstrate the connection between tectonic activity and location of healthy vegetation.
Home / Awards & medals / Young Scientist Outstanding Poster Paper (YSOPP) Awards / 2010 / Romain Delunel
His main research interests deal with the Late-glacial ice retreat history in the Alps and the quantification of post-glacial denudation rates. During his Ph.D. he studied the recent relief evolution of the Ecrins-Pelvoux massif (French Western Alps) induced by Pleistocene / Holocene climate change using in-situ produced Terrestrial Cosmogenic Nuclide (TCN) measurements.
Home / Outreach / Newsletter / GeoQ #9
A special contribution from the EGU President and the EGU Programme Committee Chair at the start of the issue informs readers about this theme and what will be different at this year’s General Assembly. Inspired by the five sub-topics at the EGU2014, we publish five pieces about exciting research focusing on Waters of the Earth, Life of the Earth, Atmosphere of the Earth, Rocks of the Earth and Space and the Earth in the Articles section of this GeoQ.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / EGU Science for Policy Hangout
Each Hangout will feature an expert who is working at the interface of science and policy before dividing participants into breakout rooms to virtually network and continue the discussion! In February, Elias Symeonakis will highlight some of his key takehome messages from the EGU’s 2022 Science-Policy Pairing Scheme in the European Parliament.

In continuity with the previous workshops, the meeting will incorporate the substantial advances achieved in the last decade affecting our view on the L-A system. June The 13th Summer School on Sensitivity Analysis of Model Output (SAMO 2026) Fiesole (Florence), Italy 8–12 June 2026 SAMO 2026 covers how to perform sensitivity analysis in simulation modelling, as it has a crucial role in policy and policy-making.
