Outreach activities Wikipedia The internet encyclopaedia Wikipedia is an increasingly important source of information, which can be accessed and edited for free by anyone in the world. It is one of the largest websites in terms of traffic and its pages show up in the top ten search results for the vast majority of online searches. The EGU has a page on Wikipedia , but this entry is incomplete and out-of-date.

This work has had major implications for strengthening the science – policy interface, both in terms of theoretical advances (e.g., on how to apply citizen science in a context of sustainable development) and of practical applications (e.g., co-design of decision support systems, and application of low-cost technologies for hydrological monitoring).
Home / Awards & medals / Lewis Fry Richardson Medal / 2020 / Valerio Lucarini
Lucarini has been able to fundamentally broaden the understanding of the global stability of the climate system by constructing edge states and studying their properties. He takes advantage of sophisticated mathematical ideas and concepts, adapts and improves them in creative ways, and uses them in order to address fundamental problems in the physical and geophysical sciences.

Prof. Lucarini’s work on the water budget of the Danube. Basin has been applied to the development of flood maps in Europe (de Moel et al. 2009), and his recent studies of multiscale variability in deterministically chaotic dynamical systems is pertinent to the development of stochastic parameterizations in operational weather/climate prediction models.

Furthermore in light of emerging water security issues, she quantified the severity and spatial extent of the European droughts in 2018 and 2019 using satellite derived terrestrial water storage changes. The breadth of her geodetic expertise and her drive to come up with real-world applications is also reflected in her early work on using radar altimetry for inland surface water monitoring.

Her work shows the value of the Neighbourhood Algorithm (developed by Sambridge) in nonlinear inversion problems providing information about the uncertainty of the model parameters. This method overcomes the problem of local minima, and searches the model space in regions that otherwise may be overlooked.

In 2007, his work was recognized with the awarding of the Early Career Award in Soil Physics of Division S-1 of the Soil Science Society of America, and the Dutch Hydrology Prize 2004 – 2006.
Home / Awards & medals / Alexander von Humboldt Medal / 2014 / Pradeep Mujumdar
Pradeep Mujumdar The 2014 Alexander von Humboldt Medal is awarded to Pradeep Mujumdar for his insightful contributions to the study of water resources systems and water resources management in India and in the rest of south Asia. Pradeep Mujumdar of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, has conducted research on the formulation of new conceptual approaches to quantification and reduction of uncertainty in the assessment of hydrologic impacts of climate change, which are poorly reflected in current global climate models.
