Air masses passing over the land result enriched in IN, and decaying leaf litter is pointed at as best candidate to emit IN in this region. The Arctic constitutes a fascinating open air laboratory to study the effects of climate change, specifically of the decrease of snow cover associated with the increased presence of vegetation, on the release of biological IN in the atmosphere.

Home / Awards & medals / Christiaan Huygens Medal / 2011 / Martin Hürlimann
After receiving a diploma degree from ETH, Zurich and a PhD in Physics from University of British Colombia, Canada, Hürlimann spend two years at the University of California at Berkeley. Since 1992 he has been a staff scientist in different positions with Schlumberger in the USA. Hürlimann has made major contributions to the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in four distinct areas: 1) The physics of porous media.
Home / Awards & medals / John Dalton Medal / 2013 / Michael Roderick
Michael Roderick The 2013 John Dalton Medal is awarded to Michael Roderick for seminal contributions to the science of evaporation, including especially the role of vegetation and the interpretation of changes in evaporation in the context of global environmental change. Like John Dalton, Michael Roderick is a true scientist of his age, a natural philosopher who has turned his mind to address a wide variety of problems in hydrologic science.
Home / Awards & medals / Ian McHarg Medal / 2024 / François Robida
Based at the French Geological Survey Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) for 18 years in leading positions, Francois Robida played a key role in the development. implementation and adoption of digital best practices in the production and sharing of digital geoscience information and data on the global scale. He championed a standardised approach for subsurface data as a Director of the Open GeoSpatial Consortium and stepped down after 10 years in 2021.
Home / News / Press releases / The Coldest Decade of the Millennium? How the cold 1430s led to famine and disease
Compared with other decades of the last millennium, many of the 1430s’ winters and some springs were extremely cold in the Low Countries, as well as in other parts of Europe. In the winter of 1432–33, people in Scotland had to use fire to melt wine in bottles before drinking it. In central Europe, many rivers and lakes froze over.

Another important research strand has resulted in expansion of the frontier of in situ high-temperature synchrotron-source X-ray tomography techniques to enable experimental validation of his new theoretical model for welding of ash and pyroclasts.
Home / Awards & medals / Fridtjof Nansen Medal / 2003 / Kurt Polzin
Kurt Polzin The 2003 Fridtjof Nansen Medal is awarded to Kurt Polzin in recognition of his pioneering contributions to the measurement of mixing in the deep ocean. Building on the strong experimental tradition of his colleagues Dr. Ray Schmitt and Dr. John Toole, Dr. Polzin developed the data analysis framework which allowed to connect the raw data from the High Resolution Profiler into accurate estimates of turbulent intensity and mixing rates in the deep ocean.
Home / Awards & medals / Milutin Milanković Medal / 1993 / Bert R.J. Bolin
These papers were partly a theoretical formulation of models and partly an extensive testing of the various models on actual situations. At the same time, he was interested in the problem of geostrophic adjustment and he expanded the theory to the adjustment of geostrophy in baroclinic atmospheres.
