The Sassy Scientist – Trick or Treat?

The Sassy Scientist – Trick or Treat?

Seasons change, and so do our passions. My climate anxiety? Yeah, it’s on the rise, like the global average temperature. So, Mae asks: My research field feels stagnant (or even dying), with limited opportunities, and I have developed new interests. How hard is it to change fields/direction after your PhD? Dear Mae, I mean this …[Read More]

4th Cargèse School on Earthquakes: Nucleation, Triggering, Rupture, and Relationships to Aseismic Processes

Group photograph of the participants of the 4th edition of Cargèse school on earthquakes. Credit: Anthony Sladen.

How do earthquakes nucleate? How do they arrest? Can we predict or control them? How do fault zone structure and rheology influence rupture? What do earthquakes in the lab tell us? How does fluid injection modulate seismicity? The Institut des Etudes Scientifiques de Cargèse (IESC) premise in Corsica, France was abuzz with discussions about these and …[Read More]

ST-ECS Networking Campfire – How to convene a scientific session

Convening a session at academic conferences is no doubt time-consuming, but they are also the primary catalysts for establishing a research network and significantly boosting your academic profile. Particularly for Early Career Scientists (ECS), the idea of convening a session can be fearful and many worry that they don’t know how to do it or …[Read More]

Combining GRACE and Kalman filter to get superior evapotranspiration estimates

Combining GRACE and Kalman filter to get superior evapotranspiration estimates

Knowledge gaps in our understanding of the Hydrological Cycle  The water cycle continuously provides us with fresh water.  A critical process in the water cycle is evapotranspiration (ET), meaning that water evaporates from the surface and transpires from plants into the atmosphere. ET plays a crucial role in climate stability and the regulation of global …[Read More]
