Permanent positions in academia are extremely rare and not everyone wants, or gets the chance, to stay in science after pursuing its Master, PhD or even PostDoc. As probably many other young researchers, we have been asking ourselves: how does life in the “real world” work? To gain insight into the pros and cons of …[Read More]
Geoscientists frequently use forward geodynamic simulations to test hypotheses derived from geophysical and geologic observations. While numerical simulations of lithospheric deformation have lead to key advances in our understanding of tectonic processes, in many cases it remains difficult to ascertain whether numerical models reproduce observations for the correct underlying regions. This week, John Naliboff and …[Read More]

A new heatwave is currently hitting Europe. In this context, the icy landscapes of the Arctic, Antarctica or the high mountains appear to be the perfect destination to cool down! As this is not necessarily an option for everyone, we alternatively recommend to find the next river, lake, or ocean and jump in, just like …[Read More]

If August Rodin had lived nowadays, he would have placed his gates of hell (la Porte de l’Enfer) in Gallargues-le-Montueux, where the absolute French temperature record (45.9 °C) was set on June 28th this year. The last week of June has been very hot, not only in the south of France, but overall central Europe: …[Read More]
Today’s NP Interviews hosts the Nonlinear Processes Division President Stéphane Vannitsem. Stéphane is the head of the Dynamical Meteorology and Climatology Unit of the Research division of the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium, and lecturer at the Free University of Brussels. He is currently president of the Nonlinear Processes division of the European Geosciences Union …[Read More]
We are happy to announce that the growing Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences (NP) community has a new unifying platform where newsworthy information on different topics will be published, with the main aim to reach many scientists at a time. Thus, this is the official launch of the Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences Blog! We hope this …[Read More]
Do you have an upcoming publication and would like to extend its reach through a press release? Maybe your university doesn’t have a media office able to help, you are short on time, and/or don’t know where to start. Don’t fret, this week Grace Shephard (Researcher at CEED, University of Oslo) shares some tips for …[Read More]
