2022 Balzan Prize for Glaciation and Ice-Sheet Dynamics
IGS members Dorthe Dahl-Jensen and Hans Oerlemans have been awarded the 2022 Balzan Prize for Glaciation and Ice-Sheet Dynamics for their joint and complementary fundamental and groundbreaking contributions to the dynamics of glaciation and ice-sheets and their impact on understanding climate change and its mechanisms, paving the way to more reliable projections of ice sheet behavior and related changes in sea level.
Both are long standing members of the IGS and have served the Society well in various capacities.
Hans Oerlemans was awarded the IGS Richardson Medal in 2020.
