The research gap Ocean tides play a significant role on ocean circulation, coastal processes and mass variations. Tides are generated from the gravitational interaction between Earth, Moon and Sun, which typically results in two high and two low tides observed each day. Satellite observations have vastly expanded our understanding of ocean tides. In 2022, the Surface …[Read More]
Posted in: Ocean Sciences | Reviews & Perspectives | Ocean Science Jubilee Special Issue We usually think of ocean salinity as the ocean’s rain gauge. Rain, rivers, and melting ice freshen the surface; evaporation leaves it saltier. Seen from space, these changing patterns reveal how Earth’s water cycle is evolving, with wet regions generally becoming …[Read More]
Congratulations on receiving the OSPP Award 2025! What was your reaction when you found out you had been selected for the award? I was very surprised when I received the email, and I read it several times to make sure it was real. After that, I felt extremely proud of my work because I could …[Read More]
Forearc ranges are a striking example of how tectonic processes shape our planet. The Nahuelbuta Range in southern Chile is one of such settings. This week, Ambrosio Vega-Ruiz from the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences, Germany, is telling us the story of this remarkable range, exploring how climate feedback can influence tectonic uplift across coastal …[Read More]
Turquoise lakes. Towering Himalayan peaks. A maze of rock, ice and meltwater. At first glance, this hardly looks like a glacier at all (Figure 1)… Yet as glaciers thin and retreat across the Himalayas, networks of meltwater ponds and glacial lakes are forming both on glacier surfaces and at their margins: one of the most …[Read More]
The contribution from Sergio León-Ríos, Associate Researcher at the Advanced Mining Technology Center (AMTC) at the University of Chile, where he does seismology research. Post edited by Adam Ciesielski prior to publication. Introduction Hydrogen sits at the heart of today’s energy transition. From policy documents to industry roadmaps, it is widely promoted as a clean …[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 21st edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in August. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Shrishail Raut and Michal Cuadrat-Grzybowski. Below, you can find the details …[Read More]
Floods are shaped by complex and nonlinear interactions between weather patterns, rainfall, soil properties, topography, land cover, and how wet a catchment already is. This complexity is one reason machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in hydrology. ML models can learn patterns from large and complex datasets with many variables. Early in my PhD, while …[Read More]
The journey to my first EGU General Assembly (GA) 2026 (EGU26) was memorable even before the conference began. What should have been a straightforward train ride to Vienna turned into an unexpected adventure when we were asked to get off at a small station and wait several hours for alternative transport. Surrounded by travellers, luggage, …[Read More]
