When we think of Earth’s rotation, it is tempting to imagine a perfectly smooth spin. But in reality, Earth’s rotation is irregular and dynamic, and is influenced by forces inside and outside of our planet. To describe the changing orientation of the Earth in space over time Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) are measured with fundamental geodetic measuring techniques, e.g., Very Long Baseline In ...[Read More]

The EGU mentoring programme: Experiences from mentor and mentee perspectives Each year, EGU offers a mentoring programme to pair a more experienced conference “veteran”, defined as having participated in a General Assembly (GA) at least two times, and a conference “newbie”. As we’re getting closer to the GA period, the submission deadline for the mentoring programme is on 17.03.25, and the ultimat ...[Read More]
