Scientific paper
Véronique Dehant led a research team that was awarded a Descartes Prize in 2003 for their development of a new model of the nutations and precession of the Earth. Their model, which was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2000 and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) in 2003, accounts for the effects on the nutations and precession of a solid inner core, a fluid outer core, a deformable convecting mantle, and atmosphere and oceans, and is about 100 times more accurate than the last such model adopted by the IAU in 1980. The Descartes Prize is awarded annually by the European Union for outstanding scientific and technological achievements resulting from European collaborative research. As the second of two winning teams in 2003, Dehant's team was awarded 300,000 euros which will be used to further improve the nutation and precession models of the Earth and Mars. Dehant is Head of Section at the Royal Observatory of Belgium, and currently serves as President of AGU's Geodesy Section. She has been a member (Geodesy) since 1989.
