Welcome to Wednesday, halfway through EGU25!
Let’s hope you have already participated in interesting talks, mingled with peers and met future collaborators! If not, today is a great day to start. Here are the sessions you wouldn’t want to miss today.
In the morning (8:30), after grabbing a much-needed hot brew, we recommend heading to a short course co-convened by Daniel Evans, Simon Clark and GMPV’s Veronica Peverelli Transferable skills: what are they and do I have them?, an interactive workshop that helps you understand how your academic skills transfer to non-academic jobs and settings!
The coffee break can be spent hanging out in the EGU networking zone (Hall X2), enjoying an ECS Coffee Catch-Up.
Before the lunch break, we would advise you to participate in GMPV2.1 session Solving geo- and planetary science problems using mineralogy where you can here a talk from Sofia Lorenzon (ECS) on Garnet, not always the archetypal cubic mineral: new crystallographic evidences from Cazadero (USA) and the SW Tauern Window (Italy). Posters on-site for this session will be shown in Hall X1, also on Wednesday, from 14:00–18:00.
If you’d rather visit a poster session, do not miss out on GMPV9 Technologies for Forecasting Volcanic Hazards: Enhancing Risk Mitigation through Observations and Models, where emphasis is on discussing how AI models can be combined with physical methods to better asses volcanic risks.
At the same time, EMRP1 and GMPV3 are co-hosting a session on Fluid-rock interactions: interplays, processes and tracers, where you can hear Alice Macente present From pore-scale to macro-scale: Understanding fluid-rock interactions using X-ray Computed Tomography and Vincenzo Moretto (ECS) present A new approach for constraining temperature, fractionation process, and fluid evolution in clay-rich fault zones: a case study from Lemnos Island (Greece).
After lunch, we recommend heading to the poster session co-organised by GMPV5 Innovative Approaches in Mineral Exploration: From Ore Forming Processes to New Exploration methods. Here, you can find posters on advancements combining mineral exploration and novel modelling techniques.
In the late afternoon, you can sit down for an oral session by GMPV6 Sourcing Critical Raw Materials: Methods, Challenges, and Opportunities, where you can hear Christopher Keane speak on Future Mining Scenarios: A Forward-Looking Exploration of the Mining Industry through 2050 and Tamara Đorđević discussing Balancing between environmental pollution and unutilized resource potential: mine wastes of North Macedonia.
If you still haven’t had enough at 18:00, you should visit the Geoscience Games Night, to unwind and have some fun!
Have a lovely EGU Wednesday!
