“State of the ECS”: (Co)-Working

Hi – Chiara here. I have just joined the EGU ECS Team and hope to provide my little contribution to the seismology community, but also have fun and meet cool people (unfortunately, for now just virtually!). I make my living as a global seismologist using earthquakes to explore the Earth’s deep interior. This would be …[Read More]

Gender Equity in (Soil) Science

Today, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, let’s take a moment to acknowledge our progress in the challenge of reaching gender equity in science, and soil science in particular. Despite the crucial contributions of women, and the fact that an increased gender diversity can contribute to the collective worldwide performance [1], women remain underrepresented and …[Read More]
