Welcome to the second day of the 2012 General Assembly! There are yet again plenty of events open to all Union members today, some of them highlighted below. Be sure to complement this information with EGU Today, the daily newsletter of the General Assembly, available both in paper and for download here.
Arthur Holmes Medal and Honorary Membership are awarded to William E. Dietrich at the 2011 Medal Ceremony. From left to right: Don Dingwell, Tuija Pulkkinen, William Dietrich.
Of particular importance today is the EGU Award Ceremony (US1, Room D, 17:30-20:00) [Webstreaming], where this year’s medalists will officially be presented with their awards. Four winners will also be giving Medal Lectures today: Vincent Courtillot (Room D, 12:15-13:15) [Webstreaming], Michael Mann (Room 15, 10:30-11:30), Timothy Sullivan (Room 1, 15:30-16:30), and Harry L.

Today’s Townhall Meetings cover Soil conservation policies and strategies in Europe, a joint IODP ICDP meeting, and the Geoscience Large Databases: access and query.
Finally, remember to take the opportunity to meet your Division’s representatives in the day’s Meet EGU sessions and, as always, if you’ve had enough of the formalities, come to GeoCinema (10:30-18:45 daily in the GeoCinema Room) to relax.
Have a great day!
