Citizen Scientists wanted for a project on hydrological data in Italy: SIREN (Saving Italian hydRological mEasuremeNts)

The SIREN (Saving Italian hydRological mEasuremeNts) project aims to digitize the historical series of daily flows by crowd-sourcing the recovery of hydrological measurements from historical Hydrological Yearbooks and to produce a consistent dataset. With your help, we can save Italy’s hydrological measurements and keep up the data flow!  In Italy, hydro-meteorological data collection has been man ...[Read More]

Can we learn about hydrology through video games? Plenty of educational video games exist specifically to teach scientific concepts, but lots of these games are not particularly fun. But can popular commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) video games fulfill the same function of teaching players scientific concepts through tangential learning as a secondary benefit to enjoying the game? Existing peer revi ...[Read More]

New spheres of scientific publishing

Many of you have noticed that EGUsphere went online, the new preprint repository hosted by EGU, as a service for the entire geosciences community. This repository can be used by any geoscientist to deposit their preprint even those that are not submitted to Copernicus journals. If you submit a preprint, your manuscript will receive a DOI number,  the EGUsphere logo and – most importantly – a discu ...[Read More]
