The Mediterranean Sea has long been known to warm much faster than the global ocean. Within it, the Adriatic Sea is a particularly sensitive basin – due to its small size, representing 5% of the area and only 1% of the volume of the Mediterranean, it reacts rapidly to changes in air-sea interactions, precipitation and …[Read More]
The reflections below were composed EU’s Neurodiversity Network following the EGU26 Short Course “How to navigate EGU as a neurodivergent participant”. The term “neurodivergent” refers to individuals who think, communicate, function, and experience the world in ways that do not conform with societal norms. It includes, for example, autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, and dyspraxic individuals. Large …[Read More]
This post in made in conjunction with the Planetary and Solar System Sciences (PS) Division of EGU Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn… are they deities or planets? The names of the planets of our Solar System are so deeply rooted in modern culture that we rarely stop to think about their true meaning, or about …[Read More]
Drought is inherently difficult to quantify due to its complex and multiscale nature. As a result, our ability to assess and monitor this phenomenon depends heavily on the availability of high-quality datasets. The Global Multi-Index Drought (GMID) dataset was developed to address key limitations of existing global drought products. Our goal was to create a …[Read More]
Groundwater is easy to use but difficult to observe. Wells can measure local changes very precisely, but they are unevenly distributed, and long groundwater records are missing across large parts of the world. Satellite gravimetry offers another view. Instead of measuring water levels in individual aquifers, satellites detect small changes in Earth’s gravity field caused …[Read More]
How do you study an ocean that is difficult to reach, frequently covered by sea ice, and far from most research institutions? Collecting observations is one challenge. Finding the measurements that already exist can be another. Temperature and salinity profiles reveal how seawater properties change with depth, helping oceanographers identify water masses and investigate the …[Read More]
While spooky season is officially in the rearview mirror, it’s not too late to talk about ghosts, is it? Not the bedsheet-wearing, candy-hunting ones that may have haunted our doorsteps last week, but a much older, more elusive kind: the geochemical phantoms of Earth’s first living organisms. Nearly thirty years ago, a team of geologists …[Read More]
Saturn is best known for its spectacular rings, but the rings are closely connected to the surrounding Saturnian environment. One of the sources of material in this system is the small icy moon Enceladus. During the Cassini mission, spectacular plumes were discovered erupting from fractures near Enceladus’ south pole, known as the tiger stripes. These …[Read More]
Ever wished to travel to Antarctica? To dive underneath the ice with whales or penguins? By the power of words I take you to an icy and stormy world that’s worth a fantasy story based on the research of my PhD. Traveling impossible? I’m Hanna and during my PhD I studied Antarctica and the Southern …[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 24th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in November. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Alexey Kupriyanov and Marcel Iten. Below, you can find the …[Read More]
