Anny Cazenave

Anny Cazenave is a prominent Earth scientist holding multiple academic and administrative roles. She serves as Director for Earth Sciences at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Switzerland, Senior Scientist at CNES/LEGOS in Toulouse, France, and previously held an invited professorship at Collège de France (2012-2013). Her research focuses on satellite geodesy, Earth's gravitational field dynamics, sea level changes, and climate systems.

Key professional positions include Head of the 'Geophysique, Océanographie et Hydrologie Spatiale' group at LEGOS and Deputy Director of LEGOS. Her work integrates space-based observations to study Earth system processes, including tides, hydrological cycles, and mass redistribution effects.

• Awards: Over 20 major honors including AGU's Bowie Medal, French Légion d'Honneur, and membership in multiple national academies
• Leadership: Directed ISSI's Earth sciences program and led key research groups in geophysics/oceanography
• Interdisciplinary focus: Bridges geodesy, oceanography, hydrology, and climate science through satellite data analysis

Her research contributions have significantly advanced understanding of global sea level rise mechanisms and Earth's dynamic processes observed from space.
