This week, the researcher Heike Knicker of the Biogeochemistry, Plant and Microbial Ecology Department of IRNAS-CSIC was announced as the recipient of the Philippe Duchaufour Medal by the Soil Sciences division of the European Geosciences Union. This prestigious medal has been established by the Division on Soil System Sciences of the EGU in recognition of the scientific achievements of Philippe Duchaufour and is awarded for distinguished contributions to soil science. Heike Knicker receives this prize for her outstanding scientific contributions in soil biochemistry and application of 13C NMR and 15N NMR spectroscopy to studies on natural organic matter and humic substances, N sequestration in soils and sediments, and impact of organic matter on soil stability and quality. She will receive the medal at the EGU 2016 General Assembly, which will take place in Vienna on 17–22 April 2016.
