“Europa may be one of the most promising places in our solar system to find present-day environments suitable for some form of life beyond Earth.” This week in News & Views, Kevin Trinh, a PhD student at Arizona State University, discusses how his recent works on Jupiter’s moon Europa can enlighten us about the evolution of Europa’s interior. One of the most promising p ...[Read More]
A geodetic reference frame provides the foundation for determining positions on Earth and in space, as well as for reliably quantifying our planet’s changes due to geodynamic processes and ongoing climate change. The ITRF ensures a uniform basis to tackle current and future challenges, including a wide range of location-based applications (navigation, traffic and fleet management, transport ...[Read More]
Over the years, we have witnessed a growing number of geological disasters due to climatic shifts. One such disaster is the landslide, and the main culprit of such occurrences can be attributed to intense rainfall coupled with high slope angles, especially in areas previously not expected to be susceptible. In this post we share a successful experience of ‘training of trainers’ in Mala ...[Read More]
This blog post is part of our series: “A day in the life of a geomorphologist” for which we’re accepting contributions! Please contact one of the GM blog editors, Emily or Emma, if you’d like to contribute on this topic, or others. by Riccardo Reitano, PostDoc Researcher, University of Rome “Roma Tre” Email: riccardo.reitano@uniroma3.it So, this is how I live now. Well, luckily, this is just h ...[Read More]
Ice sheet models are awesome tools that help us learn and predict the fate of ice sheets under human-induced climate change. However, all models have errors. What types of uncertainties exist in an ice sheet model and how can we quantify some of them efficiently? Check out our recipe to quantify one type of uncertainty in sea level rise projections: The model calibration error. Not a numerical mod ...[Read More]
We are finally back with the 7th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks; the first is by Stacy Larochelle and the second is by Parisa Shafiei. Below you can find detailed descriptions of their talks. We will have time for networking ...[Read More]
You guessed it right, it’s that time of the month when I emerge from my lair, ready to share some of my great wisdom to help you navigate this scorching October. Seriously, my climate crisis depression has me in its grip but I’m here to cool us down a little bit, no worries. So, this week, we tackle Lara’s question: Should I leave academia or apply for a post-doc after my PhD? Dear Lara, You ...[Read More]
Inland surface water is a critical resource when scarce and a potential hazard when floods occur. Because the extent of surface water affects habitat condition, weather, and biogeochemical cycles, our ability to accurately track variations in surface water extent is important for resource management, science, commerce, hazard mitigation, and policy making. Openly distributed data derived from sat ...[Read More]
Contribution about the September 2023 M 7.0 earthquake in Al Haouz, Morocco, by Dr. Nacer Jabour, Head of the National Geophysics Institute (CNRST) in Rabat, Morocco, Abdelillah Tahayt, from the Faculty of Sciences, Abdelmalek Essadi University in Tanger, Morocco, and Mohamed Kasmi, Lahcen Hni, Youssef Timoulali, Mohamed Menzhi, from the National Geophysics Institute (CNRST) in Rabat, Morocco.

In this week’s blog post, one of our blog illustrators, Emily Hinshaw will take us on a journey to the faraway land of Alaska, which is well known for its rugged terrain, exciting wildlife, and being very remote. Despite these challenges, and many others, Emily loves this work and feels very lucky to be part of the research team which explores the geology and geodynamics of the region! Alaska is ...[Read More]
