Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2025 / Iris van Zelst
Her card game QUARTETnary hit its crowdfunding target in 12 hours, raising funds to inspire the next generation of geoscientists. All of these achievements make Iris van Zelst a very worthy recipient of the Geodynamics Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist award.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2021 / Eva P. S. Eibl
Eibl’s unique take on seismology has taught us how to extract the height, location, direction, and number of blades of a helicopter from Doppler effects, or how we can monitor the fracturing crust while magma flows silently. This unique research path has allowed her to secure an impressive streak of funding, awarded by some of the most important institutions in Europe.
Home / Jobs / Postdoc: AI for Climate Downscaling over Antarctica @ KU Leuven
In this pursuit, we actively participate in the development of methodologies aimed at facilitating the generation of digital twins of the Earth. Our technological endeavors converge at the interface of multi-source satellite imagery, diverse models (e.g., climate, vegetation, ice sheets), and machine learning.

.; Wickert, J.) Click here to download the poster/PICO file. Mario Moreno is a doctoral candidate at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) - Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics and TU Berlin. He holds a degree in Cadastral Engineering and Geodesy from U. Distrital FJC of Bogotá, Colombia, and earned his master’s degree in Geodesy and Geoinformation from TU Berlin. His research focuses on atmospheric effects on GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) from airborne and spaceborne observations.

He played a leading role in the development of the sonic anemometer-thermometer and in the organization of the 1976-77 Kansas field progamme. His theoretical work has elucidated the growth and structure of the boundary layer resulting from surface fluxes of heat, moisture and momentum, convective plumes within the layer, radiation and entrainment at the top of the layer.

Based on this model, both soil moisture drought and compound flooding (CF) were studied. CF is an extreme event taking place in low-lying coastal areas as a result of co-occurring high sea level and large amounts of runoff, caused by precipitation. In the poster, the CF probability along the European coasts both for present and future climate is estimated according to the business-as-usual (RCP8.5) scenario.

Home / Media Library / Arctic sea ice over the Canadian Beaufort Sea
One of the reasons why the Arctic is warming faster than the Antarctic is the melting of the region’s sea ice, which reduces the icy, bright area that can reflect sunlight back out into space, resulting in more solar radiation being absorbed by the dark Arctic waters.
