The Must-Read paper by Bond et al. (2007) is a truly original piece of work, focusing on the conceptual uncertainty that occurs when earth scientists carry out a geological interpretation on data with limited resolution and/or spatial coverage. In this example it is about an interpretation of seismic reflection data (Fig. 1), but it can …[Read More]

We geoscientists need all different kinds of data: soil moisture, water-levels, snow height, radiation, precipitation height and the list goes on. However, the devices we need to generate that data are often too expensive, not available or even don’t exist. Therefore, it’s sometimes necessary to build them yourself (like many geoscientists do – those who …[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 roundup. For November, the Divisions we are featuring are: Biogeosciences (BG) and Geodesy (G). They are served by the journals: Biogeosciences (BG), SOIL, Solid Earth (SE) and …[Read More]
The nights are growing darker and there is snow on the ground here in Munich as winter draws close in the Northern Hemisphere, and at this time of year you are probably thinking about what gifts to get that special geoscientist in your life! We know sourcing appropriately nerdy and/or geology related gifts can sometimes …[Read More]

Mark your calendar! The next edition of the Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology and Volcanology division’s ECS talks – the Campfires – will be back on Thursday 14th December at 4pm CET on Zoom. This edition will be a Scientific Campfire, during which three early career scientists will present their latest work to the community. Our speakers …[Read More]
The American Mathematical Society’s Mathematics Research Communities (MRC) continues to be a beacon for early-career mathematicians seeking professional development. This esteemed program offers opportunities to hone collaborative research skills, cultivate networks within active research domains, and benefit from mentorship by leaders in the field. As part of the MRC initiative, the upcoming conference, scheduled for …[Read More]
The “UndercoverEisAgenten” project takes us on a drone journey over the ever-changing permafrost landscapes. Initiated by the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) for Polar and Marine Research, the German Aerospace Center’s (DLR) Institute of Data Science, and the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT), this venture is about more than just capturing images. It’s about collaboration. …[Read More]
Internships and traineeships are a great way to gain a better understanding of the political system and how policymakers use scientific evidence! This month’s GeoPolicy Blog post highlights various European-based opportunities that researchers can apply for. Understanding Europe’s political landscape and the information that policymakers need to make evidence-informed decisions is one of the most …[Read More]
