He has, for example, tackled long-standing and fundamental issues in geodesy and climate science such as the treatment of glacial isostatic adjustment in the NASA Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) data, missing terms in the sea level budget and the question ‘can we close the terrestrial water storage (TWS) budget’: one of 23 Grand Challenges in hydrology.

This paper changed the way many of us think about, and how the community prepares for, heatwaves, such as those decimating much of the northern hemisphere in 2022. In recent years Schär has been pushing the boundaries of climate modelling by descending to the kilometer-scale resolution in global models.
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 / News / EGU news / EGU journals: SOIL receives its first Impact Factor
The list of SOIL’s most-downloaded articles , with topics ranging from the modeling of soil functions and case studies of soil in art to the effectiveness of landscape decontamination following the Fukushima nuclear accident , illustrates the wide variety of topics that appear in this publication.

The idea that large-scale extensional deformation may be important in active convergent margins and form a major cause of exhumation is original to this work. He was also one of the first to recognise the extensional nature of the major tectonic features in the Betic Cordillera of southern Spain.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2017 / Anne F. van Loon
Her research focuses on the processes related to hydrological drought (drought in groundwater and surface water) and she is especially interested in the influence of storage in groundwater, human activities, and cold conditions (snow and glaciers) on the development of drought. In particular, van Loon is at the forefront of hydrological sciences in exploring the feedbacks between climatic and anthropogenic induced drought and their impacts on water availability.

Home / Awards & medals / Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership / 2019 / Jean Braun
He has made transformative contributions to the fields of tectonics, geomorphology, thermochronology, and mathematical methods for geodynamic problems – and few if any – has redefined the landscape of modern geoscience research in such a large breadth of fields. The success of Braun’s research is rooted in a thorough evaluation of the physics associated with tectonic and landscape evolution processes.
Home / Awards & medals / Runcorn-Florensky Medal / 2008 / Christophe Sotin
After his thesis defended in 1986 at the University of Paris VII, he was appointed as professor at the University of Paris XII (Orsay) from 1988 to 1993, then as professor at the University of Nantes since 1993. He also benefited from a position of Distinguished Visiting Scientist at JPL–Caltech (Californie) in 2005 and 2006.

However, he has done so much more. His 2003 papers in Nature and Science have highlighted the importance of equatorial regions in understanding the secular variation. In the first of these he discusses the morphology of the field in that region; in the second (with Chris Finlay, a graduate student), he shows that the changes in the field there are dominated by a single wavenumber.
