Reflecting on the 2025 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) – Interior of the Earth

Reflecting on the 2025 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) – Interior of the Earth

This week in News & Views, Heidi Krauss, a PhD student at Michigan State University, shares her experience co-chairing the 2025 Interior of the Earth Gordon Research Seminar, held at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to help co-chair the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on the Interior …[Read More]

Your contribution to the Hydrology Division programme of GA2026

Your contribution to the Hydrology Division programme of GA2026

The call-for-session-proposals for the General Assembly (GA) 2026 was launched on July 29. We take the opportunity to encourage all members of the hydrological community to participate in shaping the next year’s conference programme and in particular early career scientists. (Co-)convening a session is a great experience and the perfect networking opportunity. The Hydrology Division …[Read More]

Mangroves: Our coastal guardians of soil, biodiversity, and climate

Mangroves: Our coastal guardians of soil, biodiversity, and climate

Mangrove forests, rare tidal woodlands at the interface of land and sea, are extraordinary ecosystems that bridge freshwater and marine environments. These forests support rich biodiversity and invaluable nursery habitat for fish and crustaceans, while also providing food, shelter, and cultural resources to millions of coastal communities. Think of mangroves as sea walls: their dense, …[Read More]

Simulating the Deep Earth with MAGEMin: A Toolkit for Thermodynamic Modeling in Geodynamics

Simulating the Deep Earth with MAGEMin: A Toolkit for Thermodynamic Modeling in Geodynamics

Understanding how rocks melt, deform, and evolve within Earth’s interior is a central challenge in geoscience. These processes span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales and are governed by complex interactions between temperature, pressure, composition, and phase stability. Capturing this complexity in numerical models requires integrating mineral thermodynamics directly into geodynamic modeling frameworks. MAGEMin …[Read More]

My EGU25 highlights: Inspiring inland water greenhouse gas emission science

field measurements of greenhouse gas emissions using floating chambers on a agricultural drainage ditch.

The notion that inland waters are passive participants in biogeochemical cycling, with lakes as recipients and rivers as pipes, has long been overturned. More and more research suggests the global importance of inland waters in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange. EGU25 had a remarkable line-up of talks and posters on inland water …[Read More]
