Hi, The 2026 General Assembly is over. Now it’s time to introduce our existing ECS Network, which has been enriched by a few new members. Let’s meet our ECS Network members- ECS Representatives (2025-2026) (1) Piyal Halder Hello my GMPV brothers and sisters, I am the ECS Representative of the GMPV division, EGU, for …[Read More]
Geomythology. Neotectonics and Monasticism
With today’s post, I would like to temporarily leave (geo)myths behind and enter (geo)history. I was first introduced to the following historical account by Professor Francesco Brozzetti of the University of Chieti (Italy), whose extensive knowledge of the Apennines of Central Italy extends well beyond geology. Geological Origins of Monasticism This is the brief history …[Read More]
Help us shape the GD programme for EGU General Assembly 2027

Five ways to improve your interdisciplinary communication skills
Oh, but you should know that… It is a short sentence, often spoken with good intentions. Yet in interdisciplinary conversations, it can bring a discussion to a complete halt. The moment someone says, “Oh, but you should know that,” they assume that what is obvious in their discipline must be obvious to everyone else. Hearing …[Read More]
Melting ice shelves in ocean models: an idealised model intercomparison project
Antarctic ice shelves melt from beneath where they contact the ocean, but how well do ocean models simulate this process? Building on several decades of model development, a recent model intercomparison study compared ice shelf-ocean models from modelling groups around the world with the same, idealised benchmark configuration. From this effort, we can learn how …[Read More]
From Quasars to Coordinates: How VLBI Measures Earth’s Shape and Motion
Imagine determining the position of a point on Earth with millimeter precision using radio signals from celestial objects billions of light-years away. This may sound like science fiction, but it is exactly what Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) allows scientists to do. What is VLBI? Long before satellites and digital maps, people looked to the …[Read More]
