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]
Securing a research fellowship is a major milestone for early-career scientists, providing not only financial support but also access to cutting-edge facilities, valuable collaborations, and opportunities for independent research. However, standing out in the competitive world of research funding requires mastering the art of grant writing and proposal crafting. To help young scientists navigate the …[Read More]
1. The Birkeland Medal honors outstanding contributions to space weather research. Can you share what this recognition means to you personally and how it reflects the broader contributions of the scientific community to space weather research? I am deeply honored to receive the Birkeland Medal and grateful to all the colleagues, mentors, and …[Read More]
1. Introduction Severe natural phenomena of geophysical, hydrological, and meteorological origins cause natural hazards that negatively impact human activity or the environment. Many people living on the earth suffer from natural hazards every year. Although we can predict some natural hazards (e.g., typhoons) in near real-time, forecasts of the geophysical natural hazards such as large …[Read More]
Given the recent surge in solar and geomagnetic activity, spectacular auroral displays have been visible down to the mid-latitudes several times since the beginning of 2024. But it is not always so easy to know when to go out, where to look, and how to take good pictures of the aurora. And what if the …[Read More]
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]
Hi, this is your ST-ECS team 2023-2024. We are a group of Early Career Scientists (ECSs) of the Solar-Terrestrial (ST) division, and we organize events and activities with and for ST-ECS, both during the EGU General Assembly and throughout the year. Our aim is to increase the visibility of ECSs and provide you with opportunities …[Read More]
The EGU General Assembly is around the corner, and we would like to advertise the events the Early-Career Scientist (ECS) Team of our Division have been preparing to create networking opportunities for ECSs. Solar-Terrestrial ECS Drinks: preGA Icebreaker Get-together for all ST ECSs before the opening reception. We’re meeting up at 15:00 hours in front …[Read More]
Particle Precipitation High energy particles (e.g. electrons and protons) that precipitate at high latitudes can alter the chemical composition of the atmosphere by different photochemical reactions. This mainly happens due to primary collision processes and subsequent ion and neutral-chemistry reactions. Such reactions ordered by increasing energy are, for example, excitation, photo-dissociation, photo-ionization and dissociative …[Read More]
