The Division on Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (GI) intends to be a forum for developments in instrumentation, technology, methods and data handling used in any field of the various geosciences. By promoting the discussion between specialists from widely diverse fields, advances in instrumentation made in one field might be utilised in other areas also and encourage co-operation, thereby saving separate development work and making new approaches possible, which otherwise might still have to wait for years or even decades.
As nearly every other field of geosciences is related to one or the other instrumentation strategy, many of the GI-sessions are co-organized with sessions from other divisions. Potential contributors to any session are encouraged to evaluate the benefits of a multi-disciplinary discussion versus the specific interest of the own target group.
The 2024 Christiaan Huygens Medal is awarded to Nemesio M. Pérez for his outstanding scientific contributions to the study of soil-gas geochemistry in volcanic areas, and for promoting international research programs in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa.
The 2024 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to Livia Lantini for important contributions in the field of ground penetrating radar applications for forestry and environmental engineering.
The 2024 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Lorena Abad Geomorphic landform monitoring with raster and vector data cubes
The 2023 Christiaan Huygens Medal is awarded to Maurizio Fedi for his ground-breaking contributions to gravity and magnetic field modelling and the analysis of geophysical potential fields.
The 2023 Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award is awarded to Mezgeen Rasol for his significant contributions to the development of innovative methodologies for data analysis applied to Ground Penetrating Radar, with a focus on road transport infrastructure monitoring.
The 2023 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Nicole Cowell What can we learn from nested IoT low-cost sensor networks for air quality? A case study of PM2.5 in Birmingham UK.
In our October Issue, discuss the future of the energy transition, get our Open Access journal editors' top tips for writing a great research paper and meet Alba Brobia Ansoleaga, Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Palaeontology Division Early Career Scientist Representative.
Don't miss your chance to join one of our upcoming workshops on mentoring or bystander intervention, or sign up for our EGUwebinar on science diplomacy. Also it's that time again - abstract submissions for EGU25 are OPEN until 13:00CET 15 January 2025. All this and much more in this month's Loupe!
