The 2020 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to
Ekaterina Didenkulova for her exceptional contribution in developing the theory of nonlinear waves in geophysics, and in particular for the development of extreme waves, known as rogue waves. 

The 2020 Lewis Fry Richardson Medal is awarded to
Valerio Lucarini for his outstanding contributions to the fields of extreme value theory and climate science in general, with particular applications to climate modelling and prediction. 

The 2019 Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Award is awarded to
Elisa Ziegler Transient simulation of climate variability during the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene with an energy balance climate model

The 2019 Lewis Fry Richardson Medal is awarded to
Shaun Lovejoy for pioneering and leading research on multifractal cascade dynamics in hydrology, climate and weather, leading to a new class of comprehensive stochastic, rather than deterministic, sub-grid models. 

The 2018 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to
Davide Faranda for his exceptional contributions to developing the theory of extreme values for dynamical systems and its use for analysing the underlying properties of the dynamics of the atmosphere and the climate system. 

The 2018 Lewis Fry Richardson Medal is awarded to
Timothy N. Palmer for his fundamental contributions to the conception and practical implementation of a system for ensemble weather prediction and the recent development of a similar probabilistic approach to climate. 

About EGU

EGU, the European Geosciences Union, is Europe’s premier geosciences union, dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the Earth, planetary, and space sciences for the benefit of humanity, worldwide.  It was established in September 2002 as a merger of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) and the European Union of Geosciences (EUG), and has headquarters in Munich, Germany.
