I am finally going back to Vienna this year for the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly (GA) in April, for the first time since 2019. Strangely, I am now with this feeling of “finally back ‘home’ at the Austria Center Vienna”. I have been asking myself what is going to be different after these four years, who I will meet there, if the city has changed, which places I want to see agai ...[Read More]
Thinking about the past year, one of the highs of the year was definitely seeing the EGU General Assembly back to Vienna in May. The first-ever fully hybrid EGU meeting was a great success with over 12,000 presentations. Most of all, it was great seeing our hydrological sciences community meeting in person again. Many constraints prevented us from having all the features we love in the GA meeting, ...[Read More]

What Stories Are We Looking For? We invite all hydrologists from any professional background, including graduate students and early career scientists, to submit contributions. You can present the b ...[Read More]
Have you heard of the option to have two first authors? Or seen the little star that indicates that both first authors have equally contributed to the work? I got to know the concept many years ago, without having ever used it. Now, one of my PhD students is working on a shared paper. My first reaction as a supervisor was: let’s have a quick look on the current rules about shared first autho ...[Read More]

The EGU Programme committee (PC) usually meets several times in a year to prepare the EGU General Assembly (GA). In these “virtual” times, they have met even more than usual, as more issues have to be discussed and reflected upon: hybrid format, accessibility, fees and registration rates, travel support, education, outreach, communication, side events, etc. The PC meeting dedicated to finalize the ...[Read More]
It may seem strange to stop and look back on 2020. What a complicated year it was! We may however enjoy talking about good things that also happened this year. There may be many things we wish we coud have done (or done differently). We all missed our annual GA in Vienna, and learned how to chat and move on with communicating our research within the new concept of online meeting offered by the SGO ...[Read More]
