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 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 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.
