Congratulations again to Åke Fagereng 21 May 2016 We also want to congratulate again Åke Fagereng for receiving the well-deserved TS Division Outstanding Early Career Scientists Award. Åke gave his award lecture exactly one month ago at the 2016 EGU General Assembly. His talk entitled "What major faults look like, and why this matters for lithospheric dynamics" attracted a large number of listeners. Read more
Congratulations again to Renée Heilbronner 19 May 2016 We want to take the opportunity to again congratulate Renée Heilbronner for receiving the 2016 Stephan Mueller Medal. Renée has received the Medal at the EGU General Assembly and delivered a very interesting medal lecture on Tuesday entitled "Deformation of the lithosphere and what microstructures can tell us about it". The lecture room was intended for 670 people and was totally packed with people. Read more
In memory of Marco Beltrando 19 February 2016 Sadly again, we have to say goodbye to a dear colleague and friend. Last December 8 2015, Marco Beltrando, researcher in structural geology at the University of Torino (Italy), passed away at the age of 36 due to a mountain accident in the Canavese area (Western Alps).

Renée Heilbronner and Åke Fagereng receive 2016 TS medals 26 October 2015 Today, EGU announced the 2016 medalists. In our TS division, we have two very deserving medalists: Renée Heilbronner (University of Basel) will be awarded the Stephan Mueller medal for her outstanding research on the analysis of rock micro-structures and textures and the quantification of rock deformation. Åke Fagereng (Cardiff University) will receive the TS Division Outstanding Young Scientist Award for fundamental contributions to the understanding of the processes and physical conditions prevailing around Earth's active plate boundaries. Congratulations to the two awardees. Read more
In memory of Evgene Burov 12 October 2015 Last Friday, 09 October 2015, our colleague and friend Professor Evgene Burov has passed away on his way to a meeting in Chile. The passing away of Evgene has come as a shock to our community. Read more

His poster was entitled "Brittle-viscous deformation of vein quartz under fluid-rich low greenschist facies conditions" by Hans Jørgen Kjøll, Giulio Viola, Luca Menegon and Bjørn Eske Sørensen. Read Hans' abstract here. We congratulate Hans for his excellent contribution to the EGU General Assembly and to geosciences in general.
Stephan Mueller Medal 2015 goes to Evgueni Burov 13 October 2014 The Stephan Mueller Medal is the award of the TS division to recognize outstanding contributions to Tectonics and Lithospheric Geophysics. In 2015, this prestigious medal will be awarded to Evgueni Burov from the University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris. More information and all other EGU awardees can be found here. We congratulate Evgueni to the 2015 Stephan Mueller Medal.
OSP Award for Adina E. Pusok 12 June 2014 A total of 123 students applied for the Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Award of the TS Division. After all evaluation forms have been handed in and reviewed, we are happy to announce that the 2014 OSP Award goes to Adina E. Pusok of the University of Mainz for her outstanding poster: "The development of topographic plateaus in an India-Asia-like collision zone using 3D numerical simulations". Congratulations to Adina. Her EGU abstract can be found here.
TS goes Facebook 4 June 2014 At the last EGU General Assembly, the opinions about a TS-Facebook-page were quite diverse. While the enthusiasm at the official TS meeting was very limited, the young scientists were very much in favor of such a page. We decided to follow the young scientists. You can find our brand new TS-Facebook-page here. Like it... share it... spread the word.
Successful EGU General Assembly 2014 5 May 2014 This year's EGU General Assembly has just finished and the TS-program was again a great success. We led 27 sessions, where a total of 868 abstracts were presented (1810 abstracts if we include co-organised sessions). The Stephan Mueller medal lecture by Claudio Faccenna on Tuesday morning was extremely well attended demonstrating the size of our community. This year, we also held the first TS young scientist meeting on Thursday evening, which was organized by our new young scientist representative Charlotte Fillon. There will definitely be an increasing young scientist activity within the TS division in the future. We want to thank everyone who actively participated in the EGU General Assembly 2014: authors, session conveners, and the TS program committee. It is thanks to all these people that the EGU General Assembly can be such a success.
