Have you ever seen a weather forecast map that looked like it was wearing a striped sweater?
This isn’t a new fashion trend in meteorology. For model developers, these unexpected stripes are a sign that something has gone wrong in the complex digital engine that powers our forecasts. Recently, our team at CMA Earth System Modeling and Prediction Centre (CEMC) encountered these very stripes in wind forecasts produced by an operational global …[Read More]

Google Earth Engine, a pioneer tool for environmental solutions
Since 2018, Google Earth Engine (GEE) has granted free access to various institutions for academic and non-profit scientific use. The goal of this initiative is to process large amounts of satellite imagery exclusively over the internet (cloud). This innovative option enabled thousands of users from around the world to investigate environmental phenomena at varying resolutions, …[Read More]
Taking time off in the academic world – Why it’s hard and how to do It
Several major holiday periods are coming up in the next months, and for many people this means taking some time off. But for academics, stepping away from work can be very difficult. At EGU25, we explored this challenge in a short course organized by the EGU “Life-Career Wellness” working group, where scientists shared their experiences …[Read More]
Insight into paleo-environmental and -climatic conditions during the Pleistocene period in Kashmir – An understudied and poorly understood puzzle-piece in the interaction-sphere of the Indian Monsoon and Westerly climate-systems
The Indian subcontinent is situated in Southern Asia, where it projects southwards from the Himalayas into the Indian Ocean. Along the northern border of this subcontinent, the Himalayas – home to the earth’s highest mountains on land – stretch with a length of ~2500 km and a width of 300 km. The stunning mountain ranges …[Read More]

In this role, she is dedicated to connecting, supporting, and advocating for early career ocean researchers across Europe and beyond. We sat down with Arianna to hear about her journey, her vision for the OS ECS community, and how …[Read More]
Berlin – the city of unusual geology
“There is no geology here – just dirt!” or “It’s only a large sandbox.” are two common narratives told about the geology of the Berlin region. But is that true? Is there really nothing interesting to find and see for a geologist in the German capital? Let’s start digging! The hard rock One narrative is …[Read More]
Cratons: building blocks of continents and their economic importance
The 4.5 billion years of geologic evolution has shaped the tectonic processes in Earth we see today. Over the span of time, Earth has changed from being a magma ocean to a tectonically active planet, by transitioning through different tectonic regimes. A silent witness of this journey have been cratons which have survived for billions …[Read More]
