With today’s post, I would like to temporarily leave (geo)myths behind and enter (geo)history. I was first introduced to the following historical account by Professor Francesco Brozzetti of the University of Chieti (Italy), whose extensive knowledge of the Apennines of Central Italy extends well beyond geology. Geological Origins of Monasticism This is the brief history …[Read More]
The Geodynamics programme of the General Assembly starts with your ideas. With the call for session proposals for the 2027 EGU General Assembly approaching, the Geodynamics Division President Laetitia Le Pourhiet shares her thoughts on what makes a successful session proposal, and how to help shape next year’s scientific programme. Dear GD community, It is …[Read More]

We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Pierre Sakic and Iwona Kudłacik. Below, you can find the …[Read More]
Congratulations on receiving the EGU 2026 ST Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award for your outstanding contributions to our understanding of solar wind physics through observations from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter. What does this recognition mean to you personally, and how does it impact your work in this fascinating field? It is …[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 June, we are featuring the Ocean Science Division (OS). It is represented by the journal Ocean Science. Ocean Science Estuarine mixing – 22 June 2026 …[Read More]
Oh, but you should know that… It is a short sentence, often spoken with good intentions. Yet in interdisciplinary conversations, it can bring a discussion to a complete halt. The moment someone says, “Oh, but you should know that,” they assume that what is obvious in their discipline must be obvious to everyone else. Hearing …[Read More]
In Spring of 2025, just as I was preparing to release the Queer Climate Justice StoryMap I had been building for two years, I received a difficult email from my lead community collaborator, an LGBTQ+ foundation, describing the devastating legal and financial situation the newly inaugurated Trump administration had put them in. We decided to set …[Read More]

Antarctic ice shelves melt from beneath where they contact the ocean, but how well do ocean models simulate this process? Building on several decades of model development, a recent model intercomparison study compared ice shelf-ocean models from modelling groups around the world with the same, idealised benchmark configuration. From this effort, we can learn how …[Read More]
Imagine determining the position of a point on Earth with millimeter precision using radio signals from celestial objects billions of light-years away. This may sound like science fiction, but it is exactly what Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) allows scientists to do. What is VLBI? Long before satellites and digital maps, people looked to the …[Read More]
