Home / Awards & medals / Hannes Alfvén Medal / 2002 / Bengt Hultqvist
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 / Awards & medals / Julius Bartels Medal / 2013 / Nikolai A. Tsyganenko
His most popular publication holds an absolute record in the field of geomagnetism being cited more than 900 times. In total, his articles have been cited 4460 times (as of August 2012). Further, throughout his career, Tsyganenko has always been generous in sharing his results. He has made substantial efforts to carefully publish his work at a level from which the models can be reproduced and used in a variety of platforms.

18 May 2017 Temperatures in the Arctic are increasing twice as fast as in the rest of the globe, while the Antarctic is warming at a much slower rate. A new study published in Earth System Dynamics , a journal of the European Geosciences Union, shows that land height could be a “game changer” when it comes to explaining why temperatures are rising at such different rates in the two regions.
Home / Awards & medals / Julius Bartels Medal / 2015 / Sami Solanki
He has led a very fine body of observational work related to a variety of solar phenomena, including waves and field line loops in the solar corona. He recently led the SUNRISE balloon-borne project, which obtained the highest resolution images of the Sun in the 200–400 nm wavelength range, critical for understanding ozone chemistry in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Home / Awards & medals / Plinius Medal / 2024 / Jacopo Selva
In 2015, he was the co-ordinator of the working group that conducted the scientific hazard assessment for the definition of the official “yellow zone” of the evacuation plan for the tephra fallout from the Campi Flegrei volcano in Naples, Italy, one of the highest risk volcanic areas in the world.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2022 / Tommaso Alberti
Alberti is a very active Early Career Scientist. In the last two years he was approaching one of the most intensively studied contemporary problems in nonlinear sciences, i.e., the characterization of the multiscale nature of fluctuations from nonlinear and non-stationary time series.
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Néel Medal / 2017 / Christopher J. Spiers
During his career he has made significant contributions to knowledge in a wide variety of problems in geosciences in general, and rock physics in particular. Spiers has brought a high degree of meticulous rigour and dedication to the scientific problems he has tackled, combining careful experiments, often with ingeniously designed measuring techniques, with a solid theoretical approach, and detailed microstructural observations of the deformation mechanisms involved.
Home / Awards & medals / Augustus Love Medal / 2018 / Edgar M. Parmentier
His many contributions in the area of mantle flows have also led to improved understanding of the extraction of melt, its focusing and migration in a decompacting layer, and subsequent extraction. These ideas have inspired new understanding of magmatism in other contexts, even other planets.
Home / Awards & medals / Philippe Duchaufour Medal / 2015 / Ingrid Kögel-Knabner
Her accomplishments and stewardship are reflected in a series of reviews and integrating papers, summarising a vast spectrum of aspects of this interdisciplinary approach and transforming them to a new quality of understanding.
Home / News / Press releases / Burgundy wine grapes tell climate story, show warming accelerated in past 30 years
29 August 2019 A newly published series of dates of grape harvest covering the past 664 years is the latest line of evidence confirming how unusual the climate of the past 30 years has been. The record shows wine grapes in Burgundy, eastern France, have been picked 13 days earlier on average since 1988 than they were in the previous six centuries, pointing to the region’s hotter and drier climate in recent years.
