Home / Awards & medals / Jean Dominique Cassini Medal & Honorary Membership / 2021 / Janet G. Luhmann
Luhmann’s scientific and leadership capabilities have resulted in principal investigator roles, including in the particles and fields payload on the STEREO solar mission. Her work was instrumental in laying the scientific foundation of the MAVEN Mars mission, of which she became the deputy principal investigator.
Home / Awards & medals / Sergey Soloviev Medal / 2010 / David Keefer
He has been a stalwart in organizing international symposia (including 10 EGS/EGU Natural Hazard Division sessions since 1998) and edited volumes of research papers for the worldwide research communities that study earthquake-induced landslides, thereby defining much of the current state-of-the-art in this field.
Home / Awards & medals / Jean Baptiste Lamarck Medal / 2014 / Isabella Premoli Silva
Isabella Premoli Silva has been one of the world’s leading researchers in the fields of micropalaeontology and stratigraphy for over 50 years. Silva has been an indefatigable and ardent practitioner and proponent of the use of foraminifera in many aspects of biostratigraphy and palaeoceanography.
Home / Awards & medals / Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal / 2018 / Pinhas Alpert
He has also demonstrated a strong and continuous commitment in education, and is the Head of the Porter School for Environmental Studies where he inspires graduate students in the field of atmospheric sciences. Alpert has made fundamental contributions in the fields of atmospheric dynamics and atmospheric aerosols.

His research focuses on the production of pre-biotic molecules in the ionospheres of Saturn’s moon Titan and early Earth. The ionosphere of Titan hosts complex organic chemistry where ions are playing a key role. Heavy negative ions in particular are participating in the formation of aerosols (tholins) in Titan’s haze layer.
Home / Awards & medals / Vening Meinesz Medal / 2005 / Martine Feissel-Vernier
Her spectrum of research is quite broad and this allows her to make synergetic approaches necessary for the future of geodesy. She was additionally working in many committees of IAG and EGS.
