Home / News / Press releases / Has Antarctic sea ice expansion been overestimated?
The most recent one, the source of AR5 conclusions, was generated using a version of Bootstrap updated in 2007, while the other, used in AR4 research, is the result of an older version of the algorithm. The researchers found a difference between the two datasets related to a transition in satellite sensors in December 1991, and the way the data collected by the two instruments was calibrated.
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Agassiz Medal / 2016 / Thierry Fichefet
Fichefet conducts his research in a way that promotes the careers of his students and post docs first – a strong theme in all of his work. It is no coincidence that past members of his team populate every major modelling centre in Europe. Fichefet’s work is important in making sure that assessments of our future (and our past) take proper account of the role of the cryosphere.
Home / Jobs / PhD student in Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography, focus on Atmospheric Boundary Layer
You meet general entry requirements if you have completed a second-cycle degree, or completed courses equivalent to at least 240 higher education credits, of which 60 credits must be in the second cycle, or have otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge in Sweden or elsewhere. The specific entry requirements additionally require a minimum of 90 higher education credits in any of the fields of meteorology, oceanography, physics or chemistry; and at least 15 higher education credits in mathematics as well as a degree project of at least 15 higher education credits.
Home / Awards & medals / Hans Oeschger Medal / 2013 / Miryam Bar-Matthews
Miryam Bar-Matthews obtained her PhD in geology from the University of Jerusalem and is currently a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Israel. The Hans Oeschger Medal is awarded in recognition of her pioneering contribution and leadership in the field of terrestrial palaeoclimate change in the last 250 thousand years using high resolution cave speleothem records, as well as for her outstanding contribution to our understanding of the climatic and environmental context of human history and pre-history.
Home / News / Press releases / Travelling pollution – East Asian human activities affect air quality in remote tropical forests
“We used a UK Met Office computer model of atmospheric transport to look back in time, at where the air samples we collected had travelled from.” Their experiments suggested the high levels of perc in the air samples were influenced by East Asian pollution, as reported in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics study .
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Young Scientist Awards / 2008 / Alfonso Saiz-Lopez
Alfonso Saiz-Lopez The 2008 Outstanding Young Scientist Award is awarded to Alfonso Saiz-Lopez for his ground-breaking research in the field of atmospheric chemistry. Alfonso Saiz-Lopez has already made a huge impact in the field of atmospheric chemistry, only two years after the completion of his PhD in 2005. There can be very few people who have made major contributions in ground- and satellite-based observations, laboratory work and modelling, in such a short time.

In 1990 he was appointed director of the Institute for Earth Sciences, representing a group of about 100 scientists and technicians at the University “Paul Sabatier” in Toulouse and in 1997 he became director of the French “Institut des Sciences de l’Univers” which is part of the National Centre for Scientific Research.

His responsibilities were in the fields of Long Range Weather Forecasting, World Climatology and Climate Change. In this capacity he spent some years in the Antarctic and in Malta and North Africa and became a Member of the WMO Working Group on Climate Fluctuations and the First Director of the Climate Research unit, University of East Anglia, UK.

European Geophysical Society Vilhelm Bjerknes The Section on Oceans and Atmosphere has established a new medal for distinguished research in atmospheric sciences. The medal is named after Vilhelm Bjerknes (1862-1951), one of the leading atmospheric scientists of the first half of this century. In the following there is a summary provided by Arnt Eliassen, Honorary Member of the EGS: Vilhelm Bjerknes began his scientific career as a theoretical physicist.
