Palmerio has given a number of invited talks on these works. She is also very active in the scientific community. For example, she regularly co-organises scientific sessions at the major conferences of the field, and participates and co-leads International Space Science Institute (ISSI) teams. In addition, Palmerio is very active in science communication.

25 May 2023 The EGU has announced the 10 training schools in the Earth, planetary and space sciences for which it will provide financial support in 2023. The EGU will also sponsor two Galileo Conferences, for a combined total of 66,000€ of funding.
Home / Awards & medals / Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership / 2018 / A. M. Celâl Şengör
Şengör is without doubt the recognised expert on European geology and the history of geological thought in Europe. He speaks, reads and writes in six different languages. His reading of original geologic works in these languages gives him access to geologic works not accessible to other Earth scientists, enabling his broad knowledge and sweeping interpretation of geologic systems worldwide, particularly in Europe and Central Asia.

The theme of this year’s course is diversities in approaches and practices in natural hazards and disaster science.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards / 2025 / Jens Terhaar
In these roles he excels in his dedication to promote an open, diverse, and inclusive academy, and in the kindness and altruism displayed towards his peers. These achievements are even more extraordinary given that Terhaar is a father of three children, currently working 80% of full time equivalent to share parenting duties.
Home / Awards & medals / Beno Gutenberg Medal / 2003 / Barbara Romanowicz
In developing a higher order asymptotic theory for normal modes, she showed in particular that coupling between multiplets leads to the sensitivity of the seismogram to the odd part of lateral heterogeneity, and that focusing terms in the amplitudes depend on transverse gradients of heterogeneity along the source-station path.
