No Resilience Without Trust – An interview with Janise Rodgers and Mary Antonette Beroya-Eitner from GeoHazards International

This summer, we participated in a Service-Learning course titled “Breaking the Cycle of Disaster, Response, Recover, and Repeat”. The course was developed by Solmaz Mohadjer and offered as part of the Transdisciplinary Course Program at the University of Tübingen, Germany. We were brought together from different disciplines to explore key factors that contribute to effective disaster risk reductio ...[Read More]

Geodesy Cartoon Competition – Turn Science into Smiles

Geodesy is the science of measuring the Earth’s shape, gravity field, and rotation. What if we could make it exciting, fun, and easy for everyone to understand? That’s exactly why the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and its Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) launched the Geodesy Cartoons initiative: to bring geodesy closer to the public through visually engaging and humorous illust ...[Read More]

Microbial Adventures in the Mont Blanc Massif

As we passed the town of Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains on the French highway, en route to a sampling campaign, Mont Blanc’s glaciated terrain suddenly emerged above the spring foliage. Breaking the silent awe, Patrick remarked that indeed, “Mont Blanc is still there.” The humor won’t be lost on anyone familiar with the massif. Its unquestionable, human-minimizing presence colours the regions’ cultural a ...[Read More]

Applying for a PhD in Geoscience: To do or not to do

Fresh out of your bachelor’s degree, or more commonly these days, your master’s degree, it can be tempting to pursue your PhD as quickly as possible. While there are compelling reasons to dive straight in, rushing into a PhD might not be your best choice.   To be or not to be a researcher? Before you start firing off applications, take a step back. Forget any expectations you had ...[Read More]

Phase transitions control plume layering during Earth’s secular cooling

  Earth’s structure and dynamics have evolved quite a lot since its formation, and so has mantle dynamics and convection patterns changed along with it. It turns out that phase transition in certain mantle minerals can be an important driver of this change. Today, Ranpeng Li from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany explains how coupling geodynamic models with thermodynami ...[Read More]
