For this “State of the ECS”, our Seismo-team will introduce themselves and tell about their ECS experience. Happy reading! Greetings! I’m Adam and by a twist in the timestream in Vienna in 2024 I ended up as the Editor-in-Chief of a blog of the Seismology ECS division (yes, this one). If your (or your colleague’s) …[Read More]

We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Saqib Mehdi and Laura Giaccio. Below, you can find the …[Read More]
Dear Sassy Scientist, In my institute I never see any disabled people. Only one or two people in wheelchair at the EGU GA. Considering the statistics in the global population, I’m sure some people are impared, but tell me : Where are the disabled geologist ? Is it impossible to be disabled and geologist ? Your gnocchie …[Read More]
What if we brought all four major space-geodetic techniques together on a single spacecraft for the first time? ESA’s Genesis mission, expected to launch in 2028, will do just that, combining Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), DORIS and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) on one carefully calibrated platform. Well before launch, …[Read More]
The Canary Islands are often shown as a group of small dots in the vast Atlantic Ocean. However, across only a few tens of kilometres, their surrounding waters can shift from sheltered coastal bays and energetic inter-island channels to the open subtropical ocean. This strong environmental contrast makes the archipelago an ideal natural laboratory for …[Read More]
There is a slow-moving silver shape drifting over the forests and cities of North Rhine-Westphalia. From the ground, it looks almost ceremonial — a Zeppelin NT gliding through the air as though time had reversed by a century. Inside, sensors are humming. And Eva Pfannerstill is watching the data appear. She is not there to …[Read More]
From 7-8 September 2026, the 1st International Training School on Urban Water Management and Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable Cities was held in Munich, Germany. Organised by researchers from the Technical University of Munich, the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), Berlin, and the University of Cagliari in collaboration with the International Association …[Read More]
In this essay, Jean-Baptiste Koehl reflects on the origin of a 100-year-old divide within the geoscience community and explores how tectonics and paleontology may be brought closer together through the concept of orogenic bridges. Disclaimer: The reflections presented here reflect my perspective grounded in my own research and experience. One of the most iconic …[Read More]

In this post, we will examine how to participate in defining the PS Division, activities, procedures, and deadlines. We dedicate our comeback post to our readers, who …[Read More]
(Schematic cross-section showing leaf stomatal O_3 uptake, chloroplast oxidative stress, and the resulting downregulation of Earth’s global photosynthetic carbon uptake (GPP)) We usually think of ozone as a shield high in the atmosphere or as an air pollutant that harms human lungs near the ground. But plants also “breathe” ozone. Through microscopic pores called stomata, …[Read More]
