Biogeosciences Division Structure During the last EGU Biogeosciences Division Meeting we revealed how the BG Division would evolve over the next 12 months with your support and guidance. The new BG structure will consist of eight sub-divisions illustrated below. This structure maintains the visibility, expertise and diversity of our Biogeosciences community whilst creating new thematics that provi ...[Read More]

The Biogeosciences division is among the most diverse in the EGU, from marine and terrestrial sciences to extraterrestrial studies and remote sensing applications. Therefore, there is a need of a team of ECS representatives covering a wide range of research interests and topics. Do you want to know them?     Elisabet Martínez-Sancho is a postdoctoral researcher at the Swiss Federal Insti ...[Read More]

Today (8th June) marks World Ocean Day, celebrated annually since 1992 World Ocean Day is a chance to celebrate the 71% of our planet covered by the Ocean and reflect on the actions we need to take to preserve this vital part of our Earth System.

The utility of logarithmic scales is nothing new to scientists – yet, sound interpretation of pH changes when comparing settings with different initial pH can be challenging. This blogpost highlights a manuscript by Fassbender et al. [1] that was recently submitted to the journal BG and is currently under open peer review. The pH scale was first published by Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen in 1909 [2 ...[Read More]

This is a solicited blogpost written by Niels de Winter. Now that the effects of rising anthropogenic CO2 emissions are starting to affect our everyday lives, accurate reconstructions of past climates become more and more relevant. These reconstructions help us to improve climate models used to project future global warming scenarios which in turn inform policy makers. The further we look back in ...[Read More]

This is a solicited blogpost written by Sebastian Viehmann. The Mesoarchean Strelley Pool Formation in the Pilbara Craton (Western Australia) hosts one of the oldest geological remnants of life on Earth. These silicified stromatolitic carbonates show diverse morphologies and formed on a shallow marine carbonate platform 3.35 billion years ago (Ga; Figures 1 and 2). After a long-standing debate abo ...[Read More]
