Home / Awards & medals / Milutin Milanković Medal / 2001 / John Kutzbach
Over the past twenty years, and with various collaborators, he was focused on four major climatic problems: understanding the role of earth’s orbital variations in causing glacial-interglacial cycles, and monsoon cycles, with an emphasis on the past one hundred thousand years; understanding the role of the uplift of mountains and plateaus in causing major onset of the Asian monsoon systems, and changes in mid-latitude climates, with an emphasis on the past 10 million years; understanding the role of plate-tectonic shifts of the continents in causing major changes of climate, with an emphasis on the period around 250 million years ago – the time of Pangea; understanding the role of future increases in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, and land-use changes, in changing climate, and climate variability.
Home / News / Press releases / One sea to many oceans: First of its kind study on oxygen flow and its role in sustaining life globally
This process is driven by wintertime cooling at the sea surface, which makes oxygen-rich, near-surface waters denser and heavy enough to sink to depths of around 2 km in winter. In a new study published in the journal Biogeosciences, a team of researchers from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel in Germany have now, for the first time, measured the flow of oxygen into the deep ocean interior that is carried by these deep currents.
Home / Awards & medals / Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal / 2008 / Donald B. Dingwell
Donald B. Dingwell The 2008 Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal is awarded to Donald B. Dingwell for his achievements in the study of the physics and chemistry of silicate melts. We recommend Prof. Donald B. Dingwell for the Bunsen Medal based on his achievements in the study of silicate melts. Don’s research covers most aspects of the physics of silicate melts. He has made outstanding contribution in the field of silicate melt viscosity.

The Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany, has an altitude of 2962 m. The two highest ski resorts in the Alps, the French Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix, Mount Blanc and the Swiss-Italian Matterhorn ski paradise, have maximum elevations of about 3900 m and minimum heights of around 1000 m and 1500 m, respectively.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Young Scientist Awards / 2014 / Stacia M. Gordon
Gordon is leading the new generation of tectonicists by combining careful sampling of key sites (many in remote and difficult field areas) with use of geochemical and microstructural methods to understand first-order processes of heat and mass transfer in orogens. She is a rising star in the international tectonics community.

The large spread in trend is present even in ensemble members of the same model. This might be due to internal multi-centennial oscillations of the AMOC instead of the external forcing. In addition, whilst the observed SST-based fingerprint shows significant indicators of CSD, no such significant indicators are found in CMIP6.
Home / News / Press releases / Air pollution in New York City linked to wildfires hundreds of miles away
In August of 2018, they observed two spikes in the presence of air pollutants – both coinciding with New York-area air quality advisories for ozone. The pollutants were the kind found in the smoke of wildfires and controlled agricultural burning.
Home / Awards & medals / Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership / 2006 / Risto Pellinen
Risto Pellinen The 2006 Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership is awarded to Risto Pellinen for his outstanding contribution to the study of atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of Earthlike planets, and for his central role in Europe in the promotion of the exploration of their surfaces using planetary landers.
Home / Awards & medals / Arne Richter Awards for Outstanding Early Career Scientists / 2017 / Julia K. Thalmann
Thalman’s contribution to the field has already reached high international visibility which is best reflected in her involvement in two of international team efforts of the International Space Science Institute in Bern dedicated to the topic of magnetic field modelling and, in particular, the benchmarking of existing numerical methods to reconstruct the magnetic field in the outer solar atmosphere.

Her current research, with co-workers at Sussex and elsewhere, is wide ranging, including analytical theory of single particle dynamics in time dependent fields, numerical simulations of active experiments and ion acceleration in post-reconnection geometries, numerical simulations of wave-particle interactions and analysis of wave particle correlator data.
