ESA’s Green Meridian Information Factory: Why not to miss the workshop this Friday at EGU26

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]

Publish or perish? Or is publishing perishing? Reflections from a Great Debate at EGU26

Lucia Perez-Diaz May 6, 2026

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]

Fluid injection-induced seismicity: the case of hydrofracking

Dimitrios Papadomarkakis May 6, 2026

$Fluid injection-induced seismicity: the case of hydrofracking$

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]

A trial by fire: Can we learn how to read a burning planet?

Lucia Perez-Diaz May 5, 2026

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]

Invite yourself to the table – Science Policy at EGU26

Manuela Gialanella May 5, 2026

Despite the perfect timing, we are not talking about lunch. Policymakers often sit together and have crucial discussions that would greatly benefit by being scientifically informed. Scientists are sometimes invited to join those conversations but are starting to tune in on their own initiative as well. Field camps and labs are where us scientists usually feel the most at home. Being surrounded by ...[Read More]
