For all those of us who write research funding proposals, the massive avenue of powerful AI methods poses a serious challenge: how can we appropriately include such methods in our next research project? Is it mandatory, or can we happily focus on our field, lab or numerical methods that we used to always work with? …[Read More]
The contribution from David Schlaphorst, the member of ECS SM division team. David is a PostDoc in Dom Luiz Institute (IDL), University of Lisbon, where he does seismology research. Introduction Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) has been used exponentially over the last decade.If you are eager to learn the basics but in song form try this …[Read More]
Imagine you’re standing on a rocky Mediterranean shore, early morning sun warming the air, the sea is calm and glassy. But away from sight and beneath that serene surface, there is a silent storm brewing. Marine heatwaves are sweeping across the basin, warming the water in ways that disrupt ecosystems, hit fisheries, and threaten everything …[Read More]
The central Mediterranean is a geodynamically complex region shaped by the interaction of multiple active subduction zones. In Italy, the central Apennines display a distinctive pattern of surface deformation that is proposed to be linked to a slab break-off beneath the area. In this week’s blog post, Maaike, a PhD student at ISTerre in Grenoble, …[Read More]
HydroTalks: Prof. Daren Gooddy talking about groundwater nutrients, contaminants and tracers Welcome to HydroTalks, the EGU HS division’s podcast series where we discuss advancements, challenges, and opportunities in hydrology. In this episode, we chatted to Prof. Daren Gooddy (Daren Gooddy|LinkedIn). Prof. Gooddy is a hydro-geochemist with over 30 years of experience as a groundwater processes …[Read More]

![Aerial image showing the climate change impact on small glaciers in the central Greater Caucasus, Georgia. Slopes are extensive deposits of moraines and loose rock debris, left behind by retreating glaciers. A small glacial lake (near the center-bottom of the image) fed by meltwater from the surrounding ice and snow was developed after glacier retreat [Credit: Levan Tielidze].](https://blogs.egu.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2025/06/Fig0-1024x768.webp)
In this week’s blog, Levan Tielidze tells us about his recent glacier study from the Greater Caucasus. By combining geomorphology, remote sensing, and historical cartography, the team reconstructed nearly 200 years of glacier and climate change across one of the world’s most dynamic cryospheric frontiers. Glaciers’ transformation provides a high-resolution archive of post-Little Ice Age …[Read More]
In the morning of May 28, 2025, the picturesque Swiss alpine village of Blatten sat quiet and serene in the Lötschen Valley. Exceptionally quiet, in fact, as the village was evacuated on May 19th after a local Natural Hazards expert spotted a worrisome change in a local mountain looming about the village, the Kleines Nesthorn: …[Read More]
