Congratulations to eminent hydrologist and occasional (well, once!) BH guest author Demetris Koutsoyiannis, who has been awarded the Dooge Medal for his services to hydrology and climatology.
Also worth reading is the speech Koutsoyiannis gave in response to the award, which describes some of his past and present difficulties in getting his work published:
...my relationship with rejections continues to be fruitful; for example, last year I was able to receive, for a single paper, eight rejections by eight different journals and eventually publish that paper.
The gatekeepers are still busy.
