His preferred method has been the use of conventional temperature and salinity observations and their use for the critical development of conceptual models of the Arctic Ocean’s role in climate system. Examples of the features and processes where he brought first or new insight are (1) the basic circulation scheme of Atlantic water in the Arctic Ocean as a series of cyclonic boundary current loops in all basins.

These preliminary observations may provide a new interpretation of the magnitude and dimensions of historical earthquakes, and may require an improvement of earthquake models and re-assessment of the seismic hazard in the region.
Home / Awards & medals / Petrus Peregrinus Medal / 2006 / Dennis V. Kent
Dennis V. Kent The 2006 Petrus Peregrinus Medal is awarded to Dennis V. Kent for his fundamental contributions to our knowledge of the Earth’s magnetic field in the past and for his leadership in palaeomagnetism. Professor Dennis V. Kent is expert in the study of the magnetism of rocks, and in its application to an amazingly wide range of problems in the Earth Sciences: magnetostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, marine magnetic anomalies, history of the geomagnetic field, and tectonics.

Konrad J. Kossacki was born in Warsaw, Poland, on 7 July 1964. He graduated in physics at the University of Warsaw in 1990, with specialization in the physics of the lithosphere.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2023 / Hana Jurikova
Since obtaining a PhD from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel (2018), Hana Jurikova has developed skills in collecting, analysing and interpreting biogeochemical signals archived in marine sediments. In particular, Hana Jurikova has been at the forefront of developing the use of Boron isotopes to reconstruct the variability of oceanic pH and CO2 concentrations from ancient fossil samples.
