Home / Awards & medals / Fridtjof Nansen Medal / 2000 / Stephen A Thorpe
After several years of research on various aspects of the dynamics and energetics of stratified flows, at the Institute of Ocean Sciences, Wormley, Thorpe was appointed to a chair in oceanography at the University of Southampton. His work is widely referred to in the literature in physical oceanography and related disciplines, and has inspired both contemporaries and the following generation of scientists.

The results show the control of temperature variations upon variations in the empirical degree of halite saturation. Thus, on the annual cycle variations in the water balance have minor effect upon halite precipitation. Next step of the research is investigation of the spatiotemporal variations of halite strata formation as a response to the variations in the degree of halite saturation.
Home / Awards & medals / Julia and Johannes Weertman Medal / 2021 / Martyn Tranter
He also studied biogeochemical processes in Antarctic subglacial lakes, hence quantifying ice sheet input of nutrients into the polar oceans. In so doing, Tranter merged state-of-the-art biogeochemical and microbiological approaches with a detailed understanding of hydrological processes to study glaciers and ice sheets in a completely new way.

After stepping down from coordinating the YSOPP award in the Hydrological Sciences he took over the position of YSOPP award coordinator at the Union level, where, due to his effort in engaging other divisions and advertising the importance of this award scheme, participation increased from 3 divisions in 2005 to 13 divisions in 2009 to 20 divisions in 2010.
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Néel Medal / 2013 / Mark Zoback
He was a key contributor to the programme for the measurements of in situ stresses in the German Continental Deep Drilling Program (KTB), and in the application of in situ stress measurements to the development of understanding of the role of stress-state in faulting and seismogenesis.

He undertook experimental and theoretical analysis of the zircon-in-garnet elastic thermometer and applied it to study the entrapment conditions in the eclogites of the Bergen Arc in Norway. Making use of the time-dependent process of viscous relaxation, he provided a new kind of chronometer, applicable to very short events such as kimberlite magma ascent.
Home / Awards & medals / Sergey Soloviev Medal / 2016 / Irasema Alcántara-Ayala
Alcantara-Ayala’s academic activities in terms of natural hazards and disaster risk reduction are of great significance not only for geosciences, but also for the wellbeing of societies, especially in the developing world.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2025 / Getachew Agmuas Adnew
Since completing his PhD in 2020, Dr Adnew’s novel technique has been championed by the industry and he has moved on to specialise in the development of challenging clumped isotope techniques to study changes in the oxidation capacity of the past atmosphere using oxygen molecules (Δ 35 and Δ 36 ) trapped in the bubbles of ice cores or elucidating the origins, age and dynamics of clumped methane molecules (Δ 13 CH 3 D and Δ 12 CH 3 D 2 ) in the sub-glacial environment of the Greenland ice sheet alongside radiocarbon measurements (Δ 14 C(CH 4 )).

His current research interests include quantitative analyses of the kinematic of rifting processes in the continental margins of North Sicily and peninsular Italy. Project in progress is the quantitative reconstruction of the Neogene to Recent crustal evolution of the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea.
