In her postdoctoral phase, her focus moved to the fate of freshwater in the North Atlantic driving large-scale ocean and atmosphere feedback mechanisms.

Home / Awards & medals / Milutin Milanković Medal / 2002 / I. Colin Prentice
I obtained my Ph.D. at Cambridge in 1977 and embarked on a career as an itinerant postdoc in several European countries. Soon after getting my first tenured research position (at Uppsala University in 1988), I moved to become Professor of Plant Ecology at Lund University. Then, in 1997, I was invited to become a founder-director of the new Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena.

He can be considered as a pioneer both in the experimental modelling of tectonic processes and in the quantitative analysis of ductile deformation. He combines top quality in field studies with development and testing of fundamentally innovative experimental approaches.

Home / About / Subdivisions / Precipitation & climate
The study of how changes in the climate impact this cycle, and conversely, how different processes within the cycle influence the climate, is within the remit of this subdivision. But our interest in climate is also broader: it covers research into the impact of the climate-water interaction upon health and upon society.

Early in his career, he made fundamental contributions to studies of the mechanism of deep earthquakes, which occur in subducting tectonic slabs up to depths of ~660 km. He demonstrated that such earthquakes—like crustal earthquakes—are dominated by shear rather than a change in volume.

With Shapiro he demonstrated the power of the method for crustal structure in southern California and this publication in Science in 2005 introduced a powerful new tool for structural seismology. Today, in just six years after its first publication, the use of the noise correlation method for the study of crustal structure has become widespread and has enabled much information to be extracted from previously recorded data.

This photograph shows remnants of the former breach made here in February 1584, now a tidal channel. The marshland visible in the picture is former arable land.

Home / Awards & medals / Alfred Wegener Medal & Honorary Membership / 2015 / Sergej S. Zilitinkevich
Sergej S. Zilitinkevich The 2015 Alfred Wegener Medal & Honorary Membership is awarded to Sergej S. Zilitinkevich for creating the fundamentals of the theory of stratified planetary boundary layers. Sergej Zilitinkevich is a world leader in environmental turbulence and planetary boundary layers (PBLs). He deserves credit for the creation of the fundamentals of the theory of stratified PBLs in the 60s and 70s.
