Into the world of Girls into Geoscience: inspiring the future generation of female geoscientists

“Girls into Geoscience” is a UK-based outreach initiative aiming at encouraging female (and female identifying and non-binary) to pursue a career in Geosciences. I had the pleasure to interview the founders of this initiative, Prof. Sarah Boulton and Dr. Jodie Fisher, and discuss about their experiences, how the landscape of student recruitment has changed over the years and the challe ...[Read More]

Halokinesis: the effect and importance of the most “liquid” rocks in geodynamics

Halokinesis: the effect and importance of the most “liquid” rocks in geodynamics

Evaporitic rocks possess unique properties that enable them to form crucial structures for petroleum systems. Salt basins are globally distributed, particularly along the Atlantic margins. Their thermal and mechanical properties can influence the Earth’s crust, altering structural styles and basin architecture, with significant implications for hydrocarbon exploration and geodynamic processes. How ...[Read More]

BeGEO scientists 2025: the 3rd conference of young Earth scientists in Italy

Born at the feet of active volcanoes, a group of young Earth scientists works for connecting colleagues in Italy and around the globe. One of the main challenges faced by those approaching the academic career for the first time is creating a network of known people with whom sharing scientific knowledge and maybe lay the foundations for new collaborations. Conferences are definitely the perfect pl ...[Read More]
