Hello Michael! Thankyou for agreeing to this interview. Could you briefly introduce yourself and your background? Hi, I am Michael Baidu, a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, currently working on the Developing Capacity for storms early warnings for Ghana’s energy sector (EW4Energy) project. I have also worked as a Data Scientist at the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA) at ...[Read More]
When we talk about greenhouse gases and climate change, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) usually receive most of the attention. Yet another gas, nitrous oxide (N2O), quietly plays an important role in our changing climate. Commonly known as “laughing gas”, N2O is a powerful greenhouse gas with nearly 273 times the warming potential of CO2 over a 100-year period. Once released, it can remain ...[Read More]
The Earth is an intricately coupled system, and simulating its behavior (from volcanic eruptions to global climate shifts) requires immense computational brute force. For decades, computers have been the quiet backbone of geosciences. Today, however, we stand at a major inflection point. High-Performance Computing (HPC) is pushing the boundaries of high-resolution simulations, while emerging techn ...[Read More]
By Marine Poizat, PostDoc at the Geological Survey of Finland. Email: marine.poizat@gtk.fi, website: https://www.gtk.fi/en/experts/poizat-marine/. Antarctica has dunes. And they are made of snow. When people think of deserts, they usually picture vast expanses of sand beneath a blazing sun. Yet Antarctica is also a desert, receiving remarkably little precipitation, especially inland. And like othe ...[Read More]
For this “State of the ECS”, our Seismo-team will introduce themselves and tell about their ECS experience. Happy reading! Greetings! I’m Adam and by a twist in the timestream in Vienna in 2024 I ended up as the Editor-in-Chief of a blog of the Seismology ECS division (yes, this one). If your (or your colleague’s) research touches on any aspect of Seismology or related fields, please reach o ...[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 23rd edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in October. 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, Saqib Mehdi and Laura Giaccio. Below, you can find the details of the topics awaiting us. We will have time to network after the ...[Read More]
Dear Sassy Scientist, In my institute I never see any disabled people. Only one or two people in wheelchair at the EGU GA. Considering the statistics in the global population, I’m sure some people are impared, but tell me : Where are the disabled geologist ? Is it impossible to be disabled and geologist ? Your gnocchie Dear gneiss human, Thank you for putting light on this question. To answ ...[Read More]
Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights section. For September, we are featuring Earth Magnetism & Rock Physics (EMRP),Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (GI), and Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (ESSI). They are represented by the journals ...[Read More]
Hello Luigi! Thank you for agreeing to this GeoTalk interview. Could you briefly introduce yourself and your background to our readers? Hi Simon and the EGU community! I’m a postdoc researcher in applied geophysics at the University of Naples Federico II. My research focuses on developing advanced potential field modelling and inversion techniques to image the subsurface. These methods impact a ve ...[Read More]
What if we brought all four major space-geodetic techniques together on a single spacecraft for the first time? ESA’s Genesis mission, expected to launch in 2028, will do just that, combining Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), DORIS and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) on one carefully calibrated platform. Well before launch, scientists are inve ...[Read More]
