For this “State of the ECS”, our Seismo-team will introduce themselves and tell about their ECS experience. Happy reading! Greetings! I’m Adam and by a twist in the timestream in Vienna in 2024 I ended up as the Editor-in-Chief of a blog of the Seismology ECS division (yes, this one). If your (or your colleague’s) research touches on any aspect of Seismology or related fields, please reach o ...[Read More]

We are glad to open our seismology advent calendar with this blog! Welcome to the State of the ECS, where our ECS members reflect on the year. Hello! Katinka here, writing from a snowy Zürich. Days are shorter, many layers of clothes are needed, and the last scientific effort before Christmas is being pushed for, because 2023 is ending! We as ECS have had a wonderful year, and I’m so ...[Read More]
Hi everyone! We are now well into the summer, and I can look back at a year of being an ECS Seismology representative, and at the incredible EGU GA this year. It was great to have the posters back this year: I had a poster and no amount of water could have saved me from talking that much. It was such an interesting experience, and I got to talk to a great amount of people. Also the social events w ...[Read More]
Hello everyone, Matthew here signing off on my last State of the ECS. I’ve had a great time working with the rest of the Seismology Division ECS team over the last few years and I am immensely thankful to all the contributors who have provided their seismological expertise and literary wit to create a wide variety of blogs. All the best to the new team taking over the blog series, you’ ...[Read More]
Hello everyone, Matthew here! As the end of 2022 draws near, it is time for us in the Seismology Division headquarters to reflect on another of the Earth’s tours around the Sun. Personally, this year has been a real rollercoaster. With everything getting back to some kind of normal, I’d forgotten that there is only so much time in the day, and only so many plates (tectonic or otherwise ...[Read More]
Hello everyone! Hope you’re doing well, and that those of you who managed to make it to Vienna have now recovered, and that normal researcher life has now resumed (and isn’t too dull in comparison!) We hope you enjoyed all that the EGU GA had on offer, and that you were able to make it to some of the Seismology ECS events. I was very sad that I couldn’t be in two places at once s ...[Read More]
Hello everyone! Matthew here, writing this as I’m on my way to my first in-person conference in over two years. Speaking of first in-person conferences in over two years… EGU 22 is fast approaching, and the excitement is palpable! Your friendly, multi-neighbourhood EGU Seismology Division ECS Reps (bit of a mouthful) have pulled together a few thoughts on their hopes and dreams for this year ...[Read More]
Hello all, Matthew here wishing you a very Happy New Year! A new year provides an opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to reflect on the past and look to the future. I don’t know about you, but 2021 was a rather mixed bag for me, with strict lockdowns gradually fading into freedoms (and back again…). 2022 still holds many uncertainties, but I do hope that as a community we can come together aga ...[Read More]
Matthew here! Since the end of the Summer, across Europe there were a few months of some kind of normality, and the ECS team enjoyed the freedoms that were on offer. Field work! In-person conferences! Actually seeing someone else in the office!?! As the winter draws in (how can it be December already?!?), and the future looks a bit more uncertain, we hope reading about what the team have been gett ...[Read More]
