  Are you ready to dive into the fascinating mutual symbiosis of science, culture, and education? Be ready to be inspired by the blog editor-in-chief of our division blog, Rebekka Steffen, who is a researcher at Lantmäteriet in Sweden, where she specializes on glacial isostatic adjustment—think rising land, ancient ice sheets, and Earth’s stress fields!  But there’s more to Rebekka than cutti ...[Read More]

Researchers working in STEM fields who also belong to a minority group face more challenges than their more privileged colleagues. Take Maryam Mirzakhani for instance; she was the first woman and the first Iranian to receive the Fields Medal. But along that path, she quietly overcame a lot of barriers on her journey- from being a child during the Iran-Iraq war to educational inequalities and the u ...[Read More]

Knowledge gaps in our understanding of the Hydrological Cycle  The water cycle continuously provides us with fresh water.  A critical process in the water cycle is evapotranspiration (ET), meaning that water evaporates from the surface and transpires from plants into the atmosphere. ET plays a crucial role in climate stability and the regulation of global water resources, but it is one of the most ...[Read More]
