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 / Jobs / Fully funded PhD position in modelling of induced and mining seismicity
The position is to enhance and strengthen our research efforts in understanding induced seismicity in various settings. This is a part of funding led by the research group of Prof. Robert Shcherbakov ( publish.uwo.ca/~rshcherb/ ) in the Department of Earth Sciences, at Western University ( https://uwo.ca/earth/), London, Ontario, Canada in collaboration with industry partners.

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.
Home / News / Press releases / Floods as war weapons – Humans caused a third of floods in past 500 years in SW Netherlands
The area flooded during the Eighty Years’ War became part of a strategic line of defence and remained inundated for more than 100 years in some places, with profound consequences for the landscape. After the waters receded, a thick layer of clay covered all remnants of buildings and roads in the area. As sea water was used, soil salinity increased, affecting agricultural yields.

He contributed to the first European Tsunami Project funded by EU in 1992 and was one of the founders of the 'North-Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Tsunami Warning System of UNESCO'. He contributed to the establishment of the Hellenic National Tsunami Warning Centre in Greece and was the Research Director of the Centre for several years.

In his work he has addressed a broad range of topics. Following on the breakthrough in geodynamo modelling in the mid-1990s, he published an influential paper that demonstrated how the magnetic field in such models is generated by a so-called ?2-mechanism associated with helical convection columns, confirming and extending earlier concepts of Fritz Busse.

Another notable achievement was his derivation of an energy conserving parametrisation of sub-grid scale baroclinic eddies in quasigeostrophic or primitive equation models. In the early eighties he led with coworkers several pioneering studies on transport processes in relation to the general circulation of the atmosphere, applied to water isotopes, to desert dust, or to inverting the water cycle for investigating the origin of precipitating water.

EGS Milutin MilankovicŽ Medallist - 2000 Robert Sadourny for his exceptionally wide involvement to many facets of climate research, as his pioneer contribution in fundamental problems of atmospheric dynamics, his continuous help in developing space borne and field instrumentation and his leadership in atmosphere general circulation models Robert Sadourny started his career as an atmosphere modeller in the late sixties, by doing pioneering work on the use of icoahedral triangulation of the sphere for atmospheric general circulation modelling.
