International hydrology prize medalists 2017
Z. Kundzewicz and D. Rosberg are awarded the Dooge and Volker medal for their outstanding contribution to hydrological science.
The award ceremony will be held on July 13th during the IAHS Scientific Assembly in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
As of 2014, two medals will be awarded under the International Hydrology Prize: the Dooge medal and the Volker medal. Both medals are intended to distinguish outstanding achievements by hydrological scientists but with a different focus. The Dooge medal is aimed at fundamental contributions to the science of hydrology, whereas the Volker medalis aimed at outstanding applications of hydrological science for the benefit of society at large.
Nominations for the Prize are made by National Committees to IAHS, National Committees to the UNESCO-IHP or National Hydrological Advisors to the WMO, and forwarded to the Secretary General of IAHS no later than 31 December of the previous year for consideration by the Nomination Committee. The Committee consists of the President and a Vice-President of IAHS and representatives of UNESCO and WMO.
