Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics ACP Award 2022
At the occasion of the Swiss Geoscience meeting in Lausanne in November 2022, the ACP Award for Atmospheric Research was presented to Lea Beusch for her PhD thesis ‘MESMER – A Modular Earth System Model Emulator with Spatially Resolved Output’. In her thesis, she developed a regional Earth System Model (ESM) emulator, which is able to emulate the output of geographically-resolved ESMs, based on a given global temperature input. Lea Beusch demonstrated how MESMER can be used to recombine global and regional features of ESMs to cover a larger phase space with the emulator, potentially including observational constraints.

2022 était un été normal du 21e siècle
Chaleur, sécheresse, risque d'incendie – les conditions comme celles de 2022 deviendront bientôt la norme avec le changement climatique. L'été 2022 sera même l’un des plus frais du 21e siècle si les émissions de gaz à effet de serre ne sont pas nettement réduites dans les prochaines décennies. C’est ce qu'écrivent des chercheurs sur le climat dans un chapitre supplémentaire qui vient d’être ajouté à la brochure « Hitze- und Trockensommer in der Schweiz » publiée en 2022.

At the occasion of the virtual Swiss Geoscience meeting in Geneva in November 2021, the ACP Award for Atmospheric Research was presented to Kristýna Kantnerová for her PhD thesis “Analysis of clumped isotopes of nitrous oxide: method development and first applications”. Her work shows an impressive thematic depth, ranging from several essential instrumental and methodological developments in the field of greenhouse gas isotope analysis to the interpretation of fingerprints of major source / sink processes.

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics ACP Award 2020
At the occasion of the virtual Swiss Geoscience meeting in Zurich in November 2019, the ACP Award for Atmospheric Research was presented to Aryeh Feinberg for his PhD thesis “The atmospheric sulfur and selenium cycles: a global model of transport and deposition”. The award committee was particular impressed by the broad spectrum of the work, covering model development, evaluation and application to investigate the evolution of Selenium cycle with climate change.
