Prof
Valerio Lucarini has been awarded the Outstanding Young Scientist
Award for his influential contributions to many facets of
meteorology. The
33-year-old Professor is already the author of more than thirty
peer-reviewed articles, published in journals ranging from the highly
theoretical, those devoted to applying theory and numerical modelling
to climate and meteorology, to those concerned with very practical
applications. Lucarini already enjoys an international reputation,
collaborating with many well-known scientists. ML32,

Jasper
Vrugt
The
2010 Outstanding Young Scientist Award has been awarded to Dr Jasper
Vrugt in recognition of his outstanding contributions in the field of
hydrology. The
ability to make hydrological predictions in the context of global
change is one of the biggest challenges the science of hydrology is
facing today. Vrugt's accomplishments are instrumental towards
addressing this issue and rank him among the most insightful and
influential scientists of his generation. ML31,

recognition of his already impressive resume, the 31-year-old Dr
Alexander Barth will receive this year's Outstanding Young
Scientist Award for his fundamental improvements to data
assimilation. He has developed a multitude of new ideas, of
which his combined nesting techniques with data assimilation are of
most interest. His scientific ideas have led to a great many
presentations at science meetings and publications in peer-reviewed
journals. ML33, Th 11:45 - 12:15, Room 6.
