Home / Media Library / Map showing the strategic flooding of the Philippine area, southwestern Netherlands, in 1747 at the time of a French military attack
From 1702 to 1814, the French invaded the Zeeland Flanders area in southwestern Netherlands three times, occupying it twice. At that time the Dutch used an east-west running area (beginning at the town of Sluis and ending east of the town of Hulst) to be flooded in case of warfare.
Home / Awards & medals / Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership / 2004 / Michel Blanc
He is leading the efforts for structuring the planetary science community in Europe in the context of the major science missions of ESA. With his remarkable scientific record in Solar Terrestrial physics and planetary science and his strong role in coordinating the European scientific community, Michel Blanc deserves to open the list of recipients of the Cassini medal of the European Geosciences Union.
Home / Awards & medals / Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal / 2016 / Maria Kanakidou
She is active in the organisation of scientific conferences and workshops and as a reviewer for scientific journals. In conclusion, Maria Kanakidou is a highly deserving recipient of the Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal of the EGU.
Home / Awards & medals / Petrus Peregrinus Medal / 2011 / Peter L. Olson
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.
Home / Awards & medals / Union Service Award / 2014 / Thomas Hofmann
Since 1991 he has been a staff member of the Geological Survey of Austria, starting in the department of mineral resources, moving to public relations and foreign affairs in 2004 and becoming head of library, archive and publishing in 2008. Hofmann’s work focuses on various activities in the fields of public relations, geosites and history of the geosciences.
Home / Awards & medals / Henry Darcy Medal / 2012 / Tissa H. Illangasekare
He continues to serve on board of directors of community-wide initiatives such as CUAHSI in the US and HOBE in Denmark. Illangasekare has always been a conscientious citizen of the hydrology community as evidenced by the many editorial duties in leading hydrological journals (Co-Editor of Vadose Zone Journal, present Editor of Water Resources Research), and by the numerous conferences and sessions he initiated and led (he is the chair of the 2012 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on flow and transport in permeable media).
Home / Awards & medals / Lewis Fry Richardson Medal / 2021 / Bérengère Dubrulle
Dubrulle has been at the forefront of turbulence research, studying for example local, extreme energy-dissipation events in such flows as emblematic of a possible route to finite-time singularity in the Navier-Stokes equations. This central question in classical physics has potentially significant implications for the modern practices of computational simulations of Earth’s and astrophysical circulation systems.
Home / Awards & medals / Alexander von Humboldt Medal / 2024 / Subimal Ghosh
Almost all his research works and professional activities were conducted in India, which not only brings a great visibility of Indian contribution in the area of geophysics, but also has huge impacts on Indian science and society.
Home / News / Press releases / Famous paintings help study the Earth’s past atmosphere
The results are published today in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, an open access journal of the European Geosciences Union ( EGU ). When the Tambora volcano in Indonesia erupted in 1815, painters in Europe could see the colours of the sky changing.
Home / Jobs / 1 year postdoctoral project researcher in seismic interpretation as part of the CETP GEOGUARD project
Employment requirements: The successful applicant will have experience in seismic data interpretation and seismic attribute analysis in sedimentary environments with a strong geological background and confident use of seismic software. Experience in the interpretation of seismic data in tight and fractured formations as well as experience in Petrel and programming skills are desirable.
