Geomorphology Re-blog: Our EGU session died, what went wrong?

ERE Matters February 20, 2015

The EGU General Assembly 2015 is approaching, and with that a whole bunch of interesting new talks, posters and sessions! Or not!? What do you do when your proposed session has died because it simply did not attract enough submissions? Sabine Kraushaar did some session soul-searching and shared her advice on the Geomorphology Division Blog. Here’s what happened…

“Have you ever had this experience? You develop a session which you think could be such a great platform or a subject that definitely interests a lot of people and then only a few people register…this happened to Jan, me, and several others this year and our proposed sessions (GM1.2 Emerging research fields in geomorphology and GM 1.4 Data wealth versus data poverty – new strategies for geomorphic research in a disparate world) died before they really came to life.

Andreas Lang (EGU Geomorphology President) offered advice when he told us the news and we wanted to share his ideas and comments with you and sincerely hope that they will help everyone to kick off his or her session ideas in the future! THANK you Andreas for the interview!!!”

Welcome to ERE Matters!

ERE Matters December 16, 2014

As of this month, the ERE Division has its own blog: ERE Matters – matters of the ERE Division, because Energy, Resources and the Environment matter!

Here we will keep you up to date on all ERE-related activities, at the EGU and elsewhere. Also you can find links to our Energy Procedia special issues and contact details. If you have something that you would like to share, whether it’s a post on your research, your latest publication or an interesting conference, please send us an email at ere.matters@gmail.com.

With the abstract submission deadline for the EGU General Assembly 2015 nearing (January 7th 2015, to be exact), we would like to draw your attention to the ERE Program. We decided to re-organise the various subprograms and we hope that this will make it easier to find a session suitable to present your work!

See you all next year in Vienna.
