Home / Awards & medals / Ralph Alger Bagnold Medal / 2021 / Joanna E. Bullard
Her analyses of temporal and spatial variations in dune activity in the Kalahari have provided new insights into the response of these dunes to climate change and variability, while her studies of aeolian dust generation in drylands have contributed significantly to developing and implementing new methods of monitoring dust emissions.

The technique, dubbed carbon farming, consists in planting trees in arid regions on a large scale to capture CO 2 . They publish their study today in Earth System Dynamics , a journal of the European Geosciences Union ( EGU ). “Carbon farming addresses the root source of climate change: the emission of carbon dioxide by human activities,” says first-author Klaus Becker of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart.
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 / Awards & medals / Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership / 2013 / Roger-Maurice Bonnet
He introduced the first long-term planning scheme of ESA, called Horizon 2000, a programme that was fully carried out and proved an outstanding success. After the 1996 crash of four satellites of the Cluster mission in 1996 on-board the first Ariane 5 rocket, he was the central figure in obtaining the funding, rebuilding and launching four new satellites in 2000, which are still in operation.
Home / Awards & medals / David Bates Medal / 2011 / Dmitriy V. Titov
He came to the Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung (on leave from IKI) in 1998. Titov is internationally recognized for his work on the atmospheres of the terrestrial planets. Working in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, he was involved in the analysis of Venera data to study the aerosols properties of Venus and the microphysics of its cloud layers, as well as the abundances of water vapour and sulphur dioxide and their role in the photochemical production of sulphuric acid, a main constituent of Venus’ clouds.

This experimental work triggered a lot of studies among the researchers of different fields who got involved in the study of chaos in the early 1980’s.

Bengt Hultqvist has played a leading role in the Swedish space research program as well as in international space research efforts. In the early 1960s, he became involved in the creation of the European Space Research Committee (ESRO). He successfully proposed the establishment of the European rocket range ESRANGE and was one of the founding fathers of the European Incoherent Scatter Radar EISCAT.
