  Andrea Barone
  I am a geophysicist currently working at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR). My research interests include new multi-platform geophysical technology for studying the subsurface and modeling geophysical data in volcanic areas.

  Joseph T. Almazan-Valencia
  I am a Geological Engineer and hold a Master of Science degree in Earth Sciences, specializing in Computational Geoscience. I am currently a Ph.D. student in Earth Sciences, where my research focuses on the study and analysis of both natural and anthropogenic hazards, including hydrometeorological, geological, ecological, and chemical risks. My work integrates remote sensing, spatial analysis, geostatistical modeling, and geospatial programming, using platforms such as Google Earth Engine and Python-based workflows. I am particularly interested in developing and applying advanced geospatial technologies for hazard assessment, risk prevention, and environmental management.

  Veronica Escobar-Ruiz
  I am a Senior Research Scientist at the University of Reading, with a slightly unconventional academic path. I hold a BSc and MSc in Electronic Engineering, and a PhD in Physical Geography. Over the years, my research has spanned a range of fields, including Earth Observation, Remote Sensing, Meteorology, and Hydrology. My work combines the design of custom-built scientific instruments, data collection, data analysis, and modelling, all aimed at better understanding natural processes. At its core, my research contributes to advancing geoscience by integrating engineering principles with environmental observation and analysis.

About the GI Division

The Division on Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (GI) intends to be a forum for developments in instrumentation, technology, methods and data handling used in any field of the various geosciences. By promoting the discussion between specialists from widely diverse fields, advances in instrumentation made in one field might be utilised in other areas also and encourage co-operation, thereby saving separate development work and making new approaches possible, which otherwise might still have to wait for years or even decades.

About EGU

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is the leading organisation for Earth, planetary and space science research in Europe. With our partner organisations worldwide, we foster fundamental geoscience research, alongside applied research that addresses key societal and environmental challenges. Our vision is to realise a sustainable and just future for humanity and for the planet.

It is a non-profit international union of scientists with about 23,500 members from all over the world. Membership is open to individuals who are professionally engaged in or associated with geosciences and planetary and space sciences and related studies, including students and retired seniors.

The EGU publishes a number of diverse scientific journals, which use an innovative open access format, and organises topical meetings, and education and outreach activities. It also honours scientists with a number of awards and medals. The annual EGU General Assembly is the largest and most prominent European geosciences event, attracting over 22,000 scientists from all over the world in the year 2026. The meeting’s sessions cover a wide range of topics, including volcanology, planetary exploration, the Earth’s internal structure and atmosphere, climate, as well as energy and resources.

The EGU was established in September 2002 as a merger of the European Geophysical Society (EGS) and the European Union of Geosciences (EUG), and has headquarters in Munich, Germany.
