Home / Awards & medals / Sergey Soloviev Medal / 2015 / John C. Eichelberger
His scientific activity and career demonstrate how a lucid understanding of the processes at the basis of magma and volcano dynamics can be vividly translated into critical contributions in the evaluation of natural hazards. Eichelberger is one of the genuine visionaries in the field of geosciences, and his contributions to the understanding of volcanic and magmatic processes have been spectacular and long-lasting.
Home / Awards & medals / Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal / 2026 / Thomas Stephen Bianchi
Bianchi has authored or co‑authored over 300 scientific articles and several influential books including the 'Biogeochemistry of Estuaries', 'Chemical Biomarkers in Aquatic Ecosystems', 'Biogeochemical Dynamics at Major River–Coastal Interfaces', 'Deltas and Humans' and on the Gulf of Mexico. He has been serving on the editorial boards of prominent journals in the field of biogeosciences, and is currently Editor-in-chief of the journal 'Marine Chemistry'.

Home / Awards & medals / Arne Richter Awards for Outstanding Young Scientists / 2016 / Christian Moestl
Aside from producing an enviable research record, Moestl is deeply committed to sharing his knowledge with a wider audience. Thus, he is very active in organising sessions at international conferences and in giving talks on the subject to the general public. In summary, Moestl is not only one of the leading exponents of European geosciences in the world but also one conscious of the duties of scientists to the general welfare.
Home / Awards & medals / Fridtjof Nansen Medal / 2025 / Tatiana Ilyina
Tatiana Ilyina The 2025 Fridtjof Nansen Medal is awarded to Tatiana Ilyina for distinguished research in oceanography to enhance our understanding of the ocean carbon cycle and its critical role in the climate system. Tatiana Ilyina has made fundamental, original, and transformative contributions to ocean science, specifically in the area of the ocean carbon cycle, climate, and climate-carbon cycle feedbacks and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future.
Home / Awards & medals / Union Service Award / 2017 / Alberto Montanari
Alberto Montanari is currently head of Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental, and Materials Engineering at the University of Bologna, where he has held positions in Hydrology and Water Resources since 1998, and since 2012 as Full Professor. He received his MSc in 1992 from University of Parma and the PhD degree in 1996.
Home / Jobs / PhD position in Metamorphic Petrology and Structural Geology: Stability of jadeite in subducted continental crust
This paradox can have an important impact on understanding the dynamics of subduction process since the albite-to-jadeite transformation may considerably increase the density of the continental crust if present in substantial quantity.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2023 / Stefanie Kaboth-Bahr
After that she embarked on an international career adventure that brought her to renowned research institutions in Canada, Taiwan and Germany. Currently, she is affiliated as a postdoctoral researcher with the University of Potsdam. In her research, she strives to better understand the evolution of Earth system dynamics, with special emphasis on the interplay of low- and high-latitude climate processes as well as land-ocean coupling in the climate system.
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.
Home / News / EGU news / Obituary: Roland Schlich (1932–2016)
Later, in 1968, Schlich moved into the fields of marine geology and geophysics and launched a long-term research programme in the Southern Indian Ocean. He received a Doctor of Science from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI) in 1974 with a thesis on the Structure, Age and Evolution of the Indian Ocean.
