Home / Awards & medals / John Dalton Medal / 2004 / Hannes Flühler
Hannes Flühler The 2004 John Dalton Medal is awarded to Hannes Flühler for his fundamental contributions to the understanding of transport processes in soils at the field-scale. Hannes Flühler was born in 1941. He obtained a diploma in forest engineering in 1967 and a PhD in soil physics in 1972, both from the ETH in Zurich.

5 December 2022 MUNICH – Years of research show that climate change signals are amplified in the Arctic, and that sea ice in this region is sensitive to increases in Arctic warming. Sea ice greatly modifies the exchanges of heat, momentum and mass between the atmosphere and the ocean.
Home / News / Press releases / Highs and lows: height changes in the ice sheets mapped
The results are published today in The Cryosphere , an open access journal of the European Geosciences Union ( EGU ). “The new elevation maps are snapshots of the current state of the ice sheets,” says lead-author Veit Helm of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research ( AWI ), in Bremerhaven, Germany.
Home / Jobs / PhD student in Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography, focus on Marine Cloud Brightening
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 / News / Webinars and online events / Careers outside of academia
This webinar will focus on the career paths of four scientists, from a background of science areas, who are working in non-academic sectors. The panelists will talk about their journey in finding careers, tips for transitioning and what skills are particularly valuable to non-academic industries. There will be plenty of time for questions from the audience.
Home / Awards & medals / Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal / 2011 / Ulf Riebesell
After two post-doc positions at AWI and the Marine Science Institute of the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), he became in 1994 research scientist, in 1995 senior scientist, at AWI and head of the biological part of the interdisciplinary carbon group in 1997. In 2003, Riebesell moved to Kiel University. In 2008/2009 he visited UCSB as a guest professor.
Home / News / EGU news / University geoscience teachers: apply now to attend teaching focus group meeting
In addition to committing to attend the 2020 General Assembly in person, successful applicants will be asked to prepare, and to submit in advance of the focus group meeting, a brief report describing their personal perspectives on the strengths and weaknesses of, and challenges and opportunities for, university-level geoscience teaching, as well as an overview of the situation in the country in which they teach.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / ERE Campfire: conventional and unconventional geologic carbon storage
The Energy, Resources and Energy (ERE) Division invites you to attend a campfire on an overview of available concepts of geologic carbon storage, including the conventional storage of CO2 in free phase in sedimentary rock, storage of dissolved CO2 combined with geothermal energy harnessing and CO2 storage in deep volcanic areas. The latter unconventional concepts virtually eliminate the risk of CO2 leakage.
Home / Awards & medals / Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership / 2025 / Paul Tackley
Tackley has mentored many young scientists and has served the scientific and academic communities in various editorial and administrative functions. In summary, Paul Tackley is an outstanding scientist whose impressive research has had a profound impact on our understanding of the internal dynamics of the solid Earth and the rocky planets. He is a highly deserving recipient of the prestigious Arthur Holmes medal in 2025.

He further studied the possible sources and sinks for methane and helped with the in-situ detection of methane by the Curiosity rover team. In addition, he provided the first high-precision measurement of primordial argon isotope ratios on Mars and discussed their implication for the early history of the planet.
