Lucy Carpenter
- 2024
- Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal
The 2024 Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal is awarded to Lucy Carpenter for establishing a critical link between the production of trace gases in and over the oceans, atmospheric chemistry, and climate change.
Division on Atmospheric Sciences
President: Philip Stier

Deputy President: Athanasios Nenes
(athanasios.nenes@epfl.ch)
The Atmospheric Sciences (AS) Division is one of the largest divisions of the European Geosciences Union. The research areas covered by the division extend from the large-scale dynamical/meteorological processes and systems in the atmosphere (like cyclones and global atmosphere circulation) to the small scale turbulent mixing, they cover the time frame from centuries (in connection with climate research) to seconds (in the context of fast chemistry). Atmospheric sciences include studies of the atmosphere composition, aerosol and cloud physics, gas-particles interactions and chemical reaction kinetics studied in the labs.

Current issue of the EGU newsletter
In our April Issue, we reflect on EGU24 our biggest General Assembly so far, all the science covered and special events, and ask for your help planning for EGU25 by filling out our quick feedback survey.
Just because the meeting has ended doesn’t mean EGU stops working for you though! If you have stirred up some media interest in your research recently, why not check out our Resource of the Month, the EGU Science-Media Toolkit, get all your Science for Policy questions answered at our next EGU #science4policy Hangout on 6 May and join the first in a new webinar series Uneven Ground examining fieldwork barriers for women, on 7 May.
