Although the award has been announced to a scientific community, I don’t think it has been announced to the general public, but I may be wrong. The link I gave was to the Henry Darcy Medal info on the EGU website, not to any announcement. Here is a better link: This is the egu website http://www.egu.eu go to AWARDS AND MEDALS Here http://www.egu.eu/awards-medals/awards-medals.html and in the table click on EGU in a column opposite HENRY DARCY MEDAL. This lists previous receipients. The award hasn’t been announced on the EGU 2009 website yet. But is now public knowledge in many scientific communities and probably the wider public as it is now, anyway! A new paper of Demetris and co-workers has also just been published: “Climate, hydrology, energy, water: recognizing uncertainty and seeking sustainability" D. Koutsoyiannis, C. Makropoulos, A. Langousis, S. Baki, A. Efstratiadis, A. Christofides, G. Karavokiros, and N. Mamassis Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci.

Help? I'd like to post on this elsewhere. I am a fan of the Greek Guy (can't spell his name lol). I am reading Benoit Mandelbrot's <i>The (Mis)behavior of Markets</i>. I highly recommend it as a non-math intro to Mandelbrot's and the Greek Guy's ideas, especially if your are interested in the financial markets. I guess most will know, but FYI anyway, Henry Darcy -- or Darcy's Law -- is to ground water hydrology what Ohm's law is to electricity. The two are mathematically indistinguishable. Best Regards, Joel Hi Jennifer,
