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]

The Sassy scientist – Where are the disabled geologists?
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]

GeoTalk: meet Luigi Bianco, geophysicist and GI Early Career Scientist representative
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]

Genesis: One Satellite to Bring Four Geodetic Techniques Together
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]

An archipelago as a natural laboratory: Pioneering ocean monitoring network in the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are often shown as a group of small dots in the vast Atlantic Ocean. However, across only a few tens of kilometres, their surrounding waters can shift from sheltered coastal bays and energetic inter-island channels to the open subtropical ocean. This strong environmental contrast makes the archipelago an ideal natural laboratory for observing how the ocean varies and responds to ...[Read More]

The Breath of Forests, Cities, and Everything in Between: Eva Pfannerstill and the Air We Cannot See
There is a slow-moving silver shape drifting over the forests and cities of North Rhine-Westphalia. From the ground, it looks almost ceremonial — a Zeppelin NT gliding through the air as though time had reversed by a century. Inside, sensors are humming. And Eva Pfannerstill is watching the data appear. She is not there to admire the view, though the Rhine-Ruhr region from the air is something. Sh ...[Read More]

Beyond ‘black and white’: rethinking continental drift and land bridges through plate tectonics and orogenic bridges
In this essay, Jean-Baptiste Koehl reflects on the origin of a 100-year-old divide within the geoscience community and explores how tectonics and paleontology may be brought closer together through the concept of orogenic bridges. Disclaimer: The reflections presented here reflect my perspective grounded in my own research and experience. One of the most iconic interdisciplinary achievement ...[Read More]
