At EGU, we’re always looking for new ways to celebrate and amplify the voices of our community. That’s why I am thrilled to introduce the Geolog Top Blog Post of the Year Competition—a new initiative where we recognise the most impactful and engaging post from the past year.
For our very first edition in 2024, we selected the top five performing blog posts and held an internal vote within the EGU Executive Office to select the winner. And now, we’re excited to announce that the very first Geolog Top Blog Post of the Year award goes to Racha Zahira Ammati for her compelling piece!
Meet the Amazighs: Morocco’s indigenous women and their pivotal role in leading climate resilience initiatives
Published on August 9, 2024, Racha’s blog post introduces us to the knowledge and resilience of Morocco’s Amazigh women and walks us through how they have long been leaders in climate adaptation and sustainability. The post explores how these women preserve traditional knowledge, manage natural resources, and sustain their communities in the face of environmental challenges. It’s an inspiring read that blends cultural heritage with climate action—a perfect example of the power of storytelling in science communication.
If you haven’t read Racha’s piece yet, now’s the time!
Your voice matters – pitch your idea to Geolog!
This new initiative isn’t just about celebrating outstanding blog posts—it’s also about inspiring you to share your stories, research, and insights with the wider geoscience community. Whether you’re an early-career scientist, a seasoned researcher, or a science communicator, we welcome guest contributions that explore geoscience topics in engaging and accessible ways.
Do you have an idea for a blog post? Maybe you want to highlight an underrepresented issue in geoscience, share your fieldwork experience, or showcase how your research connects with society. If so, we’d love to hear from you! Check out our Geolog submission guidelines and pitch your idea.
Congratulations again to Racha for her well-deserved recognition, and we look forward to reading your contributions in the future!
