I grew u ...[Read More]
As we immerse ourselves in our 20th Viennese General Assembly EGU26, the volume of climate models and atmospheric projections can be quite overwhelming, to say the least. While our EGU geoscientific community is excellent at observing the planet, a persistent challenge remains in communicating that massive planetary data into tools that a local council, a commercial farmer, or an urban planner can ...[Read More]
The latest NASA Juno briefing was presented at EGU26 yesterday. Speakers introduced unprecedented results that not only deepened our understanding of Jupiter but also invited us to reflect on the future of scientific methodology. Whether you’re a space geek or a tech enthusiast, hop in, as we’re about to take you on an exploratory journey to learn about how neural networks, serendipitous cameras, ...[Read More]
Thank you for the increased interest, our reservation is at capacity! We will see everyone who filled the form at Plutzer Bräu at 8 pm!

There’s a particular kind of energy you get in a conference room when something is about to matter. You can feel it before anything starts: chairs filling quickly, people sitting closer than usual, no polite gaps left between strangers. This was the case for the Great Debate on The future of scientific publishing: do we need scientific publishing? at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly ...[Read More]
Seismicity is undoubtedly an integral part of Geodynamics, since seismic data, from large-scale geophysical monitoring, can provide many valuable insights regarding the state of the Earth’s crust; seismicity, however, is not always natural, it can also be induced. In this week’s blog, we explored the subject of fluid injection-induced seismicity mainly through the lens of hydraulic fracturing (HF; ...[Read More]
We are midway through the General Assembly, and for those of us obsessed with the “unreachable” parts of our planet, Wednesday is the day to be in Vienna! While the GMPV division is busy monitoring active volcanoes, many of us will be found in the cross-listed sessions where Geochemistry meets Geodynamics and Tectonics. Whether you are a geochemist, a mineralogist, a petrologist, or a ...[Read More]
On Monday 4 May, Tillys Petit delivered the OS Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award Lecture at EGU 2026 in Vienna. We chatted with her about the hidden engines driving the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, and why that matters for the future of our climate. Spoiler: it’s not just about the Labrador Sea! 🌊 Can you share your career journey with us? Did you always dream ...[Read More]
I grew up watching my dad come home covered in soot. For most of his life, he worked as a firefighter in a natural reserve in Galicia, in northern Spain, a region of green mountains and steep terrain, almost Lord of the Rings in its landscape, but also a place where fire moves quickly and is notoriously difficult to control. Firefighting crews there are used to the fact that, to even begin work, t ...[Read More]
