Home / Awards & medals / Jean Baptiste Lamarck Medal / 2015 / Wolfgang Schlager
His science has had a major impact in the field, and some of his concepts, as summarised in his work, belong to the most frequently cited papers in sedimentary geology. One prominent example of his work that has triggered community-wide discussion is referred to as ‘the paradox’ (of drowned platforms), outlined in a classic paper published in 1981.
Home / Awards & medals / Julius Bartels Medal / 2023 / Hermann Opgenoorth
In the spirit of international collaboration Opgenoorth’s efforts in encouraging people to work together across the globe is well-recognised in the solar-terrestrial communities. He was key in establishing the Mars Upper Atmosphere Network, an international scientific group of scientists dedicated to multi-instrument investigation of the Mars-solar wind interaction.
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.

In addition, since one of the cesium isotopes ( 137 Cs) has a half-life of 30 years, it constitutes the highest risk to the local population in the medium and long term, as it can be estimated that in the absence of decontamination it will remain in the environment for around three centuries.

Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2022 / Ana Bastos
The importance of her work and research potential was recognised early when Ana Bastos received a “Young scientists in Geosciences” award from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in 2011, followed by a Fulbright fellowship in 2012.
Home / Awards & medals / John Dalton Medal / 2012 / Kurt Roth
This knowledge was crucial for using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and for interpreting the time domain reflectometry (TDR) signal to measure water contents in the field, and has opened the door for both small- and large-scale investigations of soil water content. Roth’s recent activities in permafrost studies in China, including the GPR characterization of permafrost dynamics, are a clear example of his mode of (co)-operation.

Home / Awards & medals / Milutin Milanković Medal / 2013 / Didier Paillard
Starting with conceptual models, his ideas have been further tested in more complex climate system models, leading to fundamental progress in the understanding of the role of the carbon cycle and the ice-sheets in their nonlinear response to orbital forcing.
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.
