Stephan Müller Medal
The Stephan Mueller Medal is an annual award in geophysics established in 1997 by the Tectonics and Structural Geology (TS) Division of the European Geosciences Union#History, European Geophysical Society (EGS). Since the merger of the EGS into the European Geosciences Union (EGU) in 2002, the medal has been awarded by the EGU since 2005. The medal, for outstanding achievements in tectonics and geophysics of the lithosphere, is awarded in honour of Stephan Mueller. The medal has been awarded during the annual EGU General Assembly each year since 2005 (except for the year 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). The prize recipient is selected by a committee from the EGU's Section on Solid Earth Geophysics. Recipients * 1998: Peter A. Ziegler * 1999: Raul Madariaga * 2000: Rinus Wortel (M. J. R.

Geophysics
Geophysics () is a subject of natural science concerned with the physical processes and Physical property, properties of Earth and its surrounding space environment, and the use of quantitative methods for their analysis. Geophysicists conduct investigations across a wide range of scientific disciplines. The term ''geophysics'' classically refers to solid earth applications: Earth's figure of the Earth, shape; its gravitational, Earth's magnetic field, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic fields; its structure of the Earth, internal structure and Earth#Chemical composition, composition; its geodynamics, dynamics and their surface expression in plate tectonics, the generation of magmas, volcanism and rock formation. However, modern geophysics organizations and pure scientists use a broader definition that includes the water cycle including snow and ice; geophysical fluid dynamics, fluid dynamics of the oceans and the atmosphere; atmospheric electricity, electricity and magnetism in ...
