The research gap Ocean tides play a significant role on ocean circulation, coastal processes and mass variations. Tides are generated from the gravitational interaction between Earth, Moon and Sun, which typically results in two high and two low tides observed each day. Satellite observations have vastly expanded our understanding of ocean tides. In 2022, the Surface …[Read More]
It’s this time of the year again when we all meet up in Vienna and talk about our latest scientific results and, more importantly, network with old and new colleagues. The EGU General Assembly (GA) EGU26 will take place again in a hybrid format. The scientific programme consists, as usual, of oral and poster presentations, …[Read More]
During winter, mountains gain mass because of snow covering the peaks. In spring, the snow melts and flows downstream until it reaches the ocean or evaporates into the atmosphere to reach back on the surface as rain or snow. The global water cycle is very complex and essential for life on our planet. Did you …[Read More]
Doing a PhD is a challenge in itself. Doing it in another country, away from family and friends, is even harder. Handling the requirements of academia while adjusting to a new culture, language, and way of life can be overwhelming at times. But, doing a PhD abroad is not defined by challenges alone. A new …[Read More]
What does a geodesist look like? And what happens if you don’t “look the part”? Today, Franck Ghomsi, a Black African scientist, takes us along on his journey between South Africa, Canada and Cameroon. Franck does not only research the impact of climate change on coasts with geodetic techniques, but at the same time became …[Read More]
