Dr. Zhengyu Liu has been named the 2025 recipient of the Milutin Milanković Medal! Awarded by the European Geosciences Union (EGU), this prestigious honor recognizes outstanding contributions to research on long-term climate change. Milutin Milanković (1879–1958), a Serbian mathematician, astronomer, and geophysicist—so basically, a geographer—is renowned for his theory of Milankovitch cycles, which describe how Earth's orbital and axial variations influence long-term climate patterns, including ice ages. 

Liu will be officially recognized for his achievements at the 2025 EGU General Assembly in Vienna in April! Congratulations to Liu on this well-deserved recognition!
