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.

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.
Home / News / Press releases / ‘Dead zones’ found in Atlantic open waters
30 April 2015 A team of German and Canadian researchers have discovered areas with extremely low levels of oxygen in the tropical North Atlantic, several hundred kilometres off the coast of West Africa. The levels measured in these ‘dead zones’, inhabitable for most marine animals, are the lowest ever recorded in Atlantic open waters.

Home / Awards & medals / Alfred Wegener Medal & Honorary Membership / 2013 / Edouard Bard
Since 2001, he holds the Professor Chair in Climate and Ocean Evolution at the Collège de France in Paris, and he is also a member of the Academia Europaea and the French Academy of Sciences. He has been a pioneer in the development of the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), which makes it possible to measure radiocarbon (14C) directly on samples of very small size.
Home / Awards & medals / Beno Gutenberg Medal / 2006 / Guust Nolet
As another example of both his creativity and breadth of skill, Guust is now using these plume models to estimate the heat flux from Earth’s mantle, which remains one of the most critical uncertainties in our understanding of the long term thermal evolution of Earth.
Home / Awards & medals / Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal / 2013 / Albertus J. Dolman
In 2008, he was elected chair of the Terrestrial Panel for Climate Change, he chaired the Global Land Group of the EU’s Global Monitoring for Environment and Security project, and was also member of the Mission Advisory Group of AScope.
Home / Awards & medals / Portrait / Augustus Love
Apart from this, he also discovered one of the two types of seismic surface waves, the so-called "Love waves". Love's principle original work in geodynamics is "Some Problems of Geodynamics" (1911; reissued as a Dover edition in 1967), which won the Adams Prize at Cambridge in the same year.
Home / Awards & medals / Fridtjof Nansen Medal / 2006 / Johann R.E. Lutjeharms
He was one of the pioneers to use satellite remote sensing techniques in combination with in situ observations to describe such a complicated and variable western boundary current system. Johann studied both the fate and impact of the Agulhas rings in the southeast Atlantic, the ‘Cape Couldron’, the upstream sources of the Agulhas and the controls on the retroflection and ring shedding.
