Thank you all for an amazing EGU General Assembly (GA) this year! If you missed EGU26 or some of the events we organised, here’s a recap so you can stop wondering how it went and get an idea of what to expect next year and connect with us through our channels to stay updated. As in the past years, we started our GA with the online division meeting before the general assembly to present the G-Divis ...[Read More]
Part 2 – the regional case In our previous post, we discussed global scale phenomena, showing how the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) constellation is the ultimate instrument for monitoring the Earth as a whole: tracking plate tectonics, defining the planet’s absolute size, and measuring variations of its gravity field. Essentially, the big questions of our constantly changi ...[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, Pico sessions, networking opportunities, and short courses. All scientific ...[Read More]
Greenland, the world’s largest island, has one of the most challenging environments for geodetic measurements. Maintaining GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) stations here isn’t just about precision – it’s about ensuring data continuity in an area that’s constantly moving. This is the behind-the-scenes story of a 15,000 km journey around Greenland: five weeks of helicopter-bas ...[Read More]

We are excited to announce the 17th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in March. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Hugo Lecomte and Marius Schlaak. Below, you can find the details of the topics awaiting us. We will have time to network after the ...[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 know we can measure how the water is distributed by measuring its mass from space? How can ...[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 academic and social environment can lead to new friendships, fresh perspectives, and personal ...[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 16th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in February. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Matthias Willen and Joshua Dreyer. Below, you can find the details of the topics awaiting us. We will have time to network after ...[Read More]
Several major holiday periods are coming up in the next months, and for many people this means taking some time off. But for academics, stepping away from work can be very difficult. At EGU25, we explored this challenge in a short course organized by the EGU “Life-Career Wellness” working group, where scientists shared their experiences (and strategies). In this post, we summarize the main points ...[Read More]
