Home / Awards & medals / Alexander von Humboldt Medal / 2015 / Hubert H. G. Savenije
In 2000, he was the main initiator and driving force behind the establishment of WaterNet with the purpose of providing education, research, training and outreach in integrated water resources management. Currently WaterNET consists of a regional network of 50 universities in Southern Africa, and over 400 master students have graduated through this programme.

He also took care of the observational side by supporting the VLBI observatories in all countries. In this respect, he has also worked on studies focusing on the scientific potential and realization of future VLBI systems, by foreseeing the use of transponders on satellites or lunar orbiters as well as improving telescopes on Earth.
Home / Awards & medals / Augustus Love Medal / 2006 / Jerry X. Mitrovica
Jerry X. Mitrovica has made a number of seminal contributions. In a 1996 paper he identified the key observations of glacial rebound that most directly constrain the viscosity of the mantle and demonstrated consistency of modern work with that of Haskell in 1935.
Home / Awards & medals / Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal / 2004 / Joseph Egger
Following his development of a hierarchy of conceptual valley flow models he initiated two field campaigns in the Himalayas which were remarkable in that the new technology of remotely piloted planes was used, under difficult conditions, to clarify an extreme phenomenon.
Home / Awards & medals / Philippe Duchaufour Medal / 2014 / Johan Six
For his exceptional creativity and scholarship, reflected in his track record of accomplishments, he is a worthy recipient of the Philippe Duchaufour Medal.

Home / Awards & medals / Alina Kabata-Pendias Medal / 2023 / Ravendra Naidu
In recognition of his contributions, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has appointed him as the chair of the International Network on Soil Pollution (INSOP) established in 2022 as an urgent response to scale-up global efforts to prevent contamination of arable soils by chemicals, fertilisers and plastics, with the goal of zero pollution.
Home / Awards & medals / Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership / 2022 / William Lowrie
William Lowrie is a world renowned geophysicist, who has focused on rock magnetism and paleomagnetism. He is one of the world leaders in these disciplines that have revolutionized the geosciences since the 1960s. The breadth of his applications of magnetism to the earth have covered elements of solid state physics, fundamentals of magnetization of soils and minerals, development of a number of paleomagnetic laboratories, solutions of geological, and in particular tectonic problems and the polarity history of the geomagnetic field, with applications to magnetic stratigraphy.
