Home / Awards & medals / Beno Gutenberg Medal / 2012 / Michel Campillo
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.
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.

This finding was confirmed by later studies, and it was used by R. Haddon (in 1972) to explain correctly the observations of precursors to PKP phase. In 1977 Lev Vinnik introduced a technique for the detection of the P-to-S converted phases and observed waves converted from the major discontinuities in the mantle.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / Pride in Space: How Scientists & Artists Landed Art On The Moon
Whilst undertaking her PhD in Law in the field of space law- looking at the regulation of space debris re-entry and their environmental impact- Rania is passionate and dedicated in advocating for queer inclusion with-in and -outwith the space sector. Using not only the power of argumentation and words honed in her legal pursuit, Rania combines visual arts with activism and purpose.

Atkinson Professor of Ecology and Environmental Biology at Cornell University in the US. About two-thirds of all new gas production over the last decade has been shale gas produced in the United States and Canada, he said. While atmospheric methane concentrations have been rising since 2008, the carbon composition of the methane has also changed.

Both are the main food source for lots of other living things in the sea, and form the basis of the ocean’s food chain. Without plankton, the stability of the oceans and the animals and plants that live in them would be at risk. Scientists have recently investigated what will happen to plankton in the oceans when there is much more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there is today.

Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Young Scientist Awards / 2015 / Paulo Pereira
Pereira deserves special praise for the meetings and workshops he has organised because they attracted a wide variety of scientists from countries that have been underrepresented in the soil and Earth sciences. Pereira is also the editor-in-chief of the journal Baltic Environment, a member of the editorial board of the journals Flamma, Geoderma, Journal Visnyk, Geology, Revista de Climatologia, and is a topical editor of the EGU Solid Earth journal.
Home / Awards & medals / Augustus Love Medal / 2008 / Richard J. O'Connell
The work has relevance in a huge variety of geological settings, as well as in the modeling of plate boundary processes, and it remains a key reference in the field. Professor Richard O’Connell’s achievements have placed him at the forefront of geophysical research for three decades, and his career has been distinguished by seminal contributions to our understanding of mantle processes.
