In recent months, I had the opportunity to work on a project analysing subsurface data from a rock sequence previously interpreted as the product of an estuarine depositional environment. The client sought subsurface maps to characterize the spatial distribution of various geobodies associated with sedimentary deposits typically found in modern estuaries. In other words, the …[Read More]
Born at the feet of active volcanoes, a group of young Earth scientists works for connecting colleagues in Italy and around the globe. One of the main challenges faced by those approaching the academic career for the first time is creating a network of known people with whom sharing scientific knowledge and maybe lay the …[Read More]
We’re back to the HydroData Chronicles, where we enter into the exceptionally wonderful world—as massive as it is—of datasets about water phenomena, such as rivers and weather. Today, we focus on ΕStreams, a comprehensive dataset and catalogue of streamflow, hydro-climatic, and landscape data for Europe. This pioneering initiative fills the hydrological data availability gap, offering …[Read More]
The EGU mentoring programme: Experiences from mentor and mentee perspectives Each year, EGU offers a mentoring programme to pair a more experienced conference “veteran”, defined as having participated in a General Assembly (GA) at least two times, and a conference “newbie”. As we’re getting closer to the GA period, the submission deadline for the mentoring …[Read More]
Geodynamicists have long grappled with the complexities of Earth’s mantle dynamics—modeling Venus’ interior adds an extra layer of challenge without the benefit of plate tectonics! This week in News & Views, Madeleine Kerr, a PhD candidate from the University of California, San Diego, explores how numerical modeling can shed light on mantle dynamics and the …[Read More]
Hello and welcome to the reopened blog of the Energy, Resources and the Environment Division of the EGU! We want to use this blog in the future actively to keep you updated with what is happening in our division and to highlight various ERE related topics of interest, activities and research. But today we want …[Read More]
Scientific research has long recognized that solar-terrestrial interactions play a crucial role in shaping the polar atmosphere, impacting both climate dynamics and atmospheric coupling across different layers. Understanding these interactions is key to unraveling their far-reaching effects on Earth’s climate, space weather, and global atmospheric processes. The recognition of these critical processes has driven international …[Read More]
Multi-hazards are “a selection of major hazards that a country faces, and specific contexts where hazards occur simultaneously, cascadingly, and accumulatively considering the interrelationships among them”, based on the UNSDRR definition [7]. Yet, this definition raises two key questions: Where are these specific contexts located, and what characteristics make them susceptible to intersecting hazards? When …[Read More]
Congratulations on receiving the EGU 2024 ST Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award for your exceptional research in analyzing complex solar transients and their effects on space weather. What does this recognition mean to you personally, and how does it impact your work in this fascinating field? Thank you so much! Receiving an award from …[Read More]
We are a group of Early Career Scientists (ECSs) from the Solar-Terrestrial (ST) division, dedicated to organizing events and activities for ST-ECSs both during the EGU General Assembly and throughout the year. Our goal is to enhance ECS visibility and create valuable networking opportunities. Currently the team is formed by: Dr. Liliana Macotela, ECS …[Read More]
