In celebration of Women in Science day, we delve into the experiences and insights of five accomplished women scientists in the field of Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences: Prof. Bérengère Dubrulle, Dr. Vera Melinda Galfi, Dr. Giorgia di Capua, Dr. Meriem Krouma, and Anupama K Xavier. Through a series of interviews, these women share their journeys, addressing challenges faced as women in science, ...[Read More]
Training the new generation of scientists to address Climate Change issues in Africa: Insights from the Marrakech-Benguerir Climate Change, Projections and Services Summer School
In the ever-evolving landscape of climate change, the Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique (Buengerir, Marocco) and Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (Paris,France) Summer School has emerged as a beacon of knowledge, equipping participants with the tools to comprehend, navigate, and mitigate the impacts of a changing climate. The inaugural edition of the summer school focused on “climate change, ...[Read More]
Nonlinear Processes in Earth System Dynamics
Earth System Dynamics (ESD) is an open-access EGU journal focussing on an interdisciplinary view of the functioning of the Earth system and global change. Due its broad focus, ESD receives submissions of relevance to several different EGU divisions. Here, I would like to highlight five thought-provoking ESD papers that cover topics spanning environmental governance, extreme events, palaeo-climates ...[Read More]
ECS SpotLight: The link between European warm-temperature extremes and atmospheric persistence
Persistent atmospheric circulation patterns are not a necessary requirement for warm temperature extremes in Europe. This key finding from a recent study led by Emma Holmberg challenges a more traditional meteorological view of persistence, which typically considers summertime heatwaves, especially in northern regions of Europe, to be synonymous with persistent atmospheric flow patterns. Furthermo ...[Read More]
