Our EGU blogging team has had a fantastic 2024 posting across our official blog, GeoLog and the division blogs.
Most of our readers appreciate EGU’s blogs for their informative yet accessible style, and for our bloggers ability to take complex geoscience content and make it fun and relevant to the reader. If this sounds like something you’d like to get involved in, we encourage you to get in touch with your Division blog editors, or email media@egu.eu.
To celebrate the excellent display of science writing across the network and division blogs, we are back again with this year’s EGU blogs competition!
We’ve asked our blog editors to put forth their favourite post of the year in the running to be crowned the best of the EGU blogs. From now until 20 February 2025, we invite you, the EGU Blogs readers, to vote for your favourite post of 2024.
