In new research published in the journal Climate of the Past, scientists from the University of Freiburg (Rüdiger Glaser, Iso Himmelsbach and Annette Bösmeier) in Germany say that, during the 19 th century, climate was one of the major factors that pushed people to move out of Southwest Germany and into North America.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Awards / 2015 / Chiara Arrighi
Since 2012 she has been working on flood risk assessment and mapping in urban areas with case studies in Italy (Florence and Pisa). Urban floods are her main area of interest both in the field of the hydraulic modelling both in the estimation of risk in art cities. She is currently focusing on a peculiar aspect of urban flooding, which is the transport of cars in inundated streets.

Réjean Couture The 2006 Plinius Medal is awarded to Réjean Couture in recognition of his contributions to the understanding of landslides using a combination of traditional and innovative techniques to help predict and mitigate the consequences of hazardous mass movements. Dr. Réjean Couture has significantly contributed to the understanding of landslide phenomena in Canada.

Tucker The 2012 Ralph Alger Bagnold Medal is awarded to Gregory E. Tucker for his innovative modeling and field studies leading to fundamental advances in our understanding of the way processes and landscape elements interact in the genesis of landforms as well as for providing new insights on the importance of the temporal variability of the driving forces of geomorphic systems. Greg Tucker has made critical contributions to a large number of topics in geomorphology.

As a result of this innovation, he obtained, and described in his high impact 2010 publication in Science, the first large scale picture of glacier and snow contribution to river runoff in High Mountain Asia (HMA) and how this will change in a changing climate. He has been a pioneer in terms of both methods applied and results obtained.
