Preuß studied samples of hair-ice-bearing wood collected in the winters of 2012, 2013 and 2014 in forests near Brachbach in western Germany. She analysed the wood samples using microscopic techniques and identified eleven different species of fungi.

Guy Masters The 2011 Beno Gutenberg Medal is awarded to Guy Masters in recognition of his outstanding contributions in seismic investigations of Earth’s large-scale structure, including in particular the deep mantle and core.
Home / Awards & medals / Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal / 2017 / D. Graham Pearson
His breakthrough discovery of a water-bearing ringwoodite inclusion in diamond provided a major stimulus for international research efforts on the distribution of water in Earth’s mantle. Pearson has been a major force in the development of techniques for measuring particularly small samples, often with extremely low concentrations of the elements to be measured.
Home / Awards & medals / Runcorn-Florensky Medal / 1999 / Heinrich Wänke
Heinrich Wänke has an outstanding reputation in planetary geochemistry. He has been very active in meteorite research and in studying the origin and evolution of the Moon and Mars and the question of water in the solar system. He has been very much engaged in international science cooperation at scientific and programmatic level and between east and west.
Home / Awards & medals / Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership / 2015 / Carlo Laj
Laj recognised that advances in magnetometer development (which he motivated with the late William Goree) could provide a step function in the resolving power of geological records of the geomagnetic field and, in particular, of past field strength (palaeointensity), excursions and reversals.

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.
Home / Awards & medals / Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal / 2023 / Christoph Schär
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 / Awards & medals / Vening Meinesz Medal / 2009 / Susanna Zerbini
In recent years she works on the coordinated use of ensembles of superconducting gravimeters combined with GPS for the analysis of temporal changes in gravity and for the purpose of separation of tectonic movements from mass changes. Since 1987 Dr.

The methodology included in the doctoral thesis provides a method to obtain information on the behaviour of our ancestors, through the analysis of the faunal fossil record found in the archaeological sites of the Pleistocene.
