Find your science: using your personal programme to schedule your EGU24

The EGU24 Programme is online and hopefully by now you have found your abstract or session, so what do you do next?! This year’s scientific programme of the General Assemby includes Union-wide Sessions, such as the medal lectures, great debates, union symposia, short courses, education and outreach sessions, as well as townhall and splinter meetings, just to name a few. The Disciplinary Sessions a ...[Read More]

Imaggeo On Monday: the EGU Photo Competition – not just landscapes!

Imaggeo On Monday: the EGU Photo Competition – not just landscapes!

In 2010 EGU held our first annual Photo Competition at the General Assembly in Vienna. Since then hundreds of photos have been shared on imaggeo by geoscientists and researchers just like you, with a lucky few being selected each year to be highlighted during the meeting and voted on by our members.   These images can be of anything to do with geology or geoscience – we get many beautif ...[Read More]

First time at an EGU General Assembly? We got you covered!

First time at an EGU General Assembly? We got you covered!

Europe’s biggest geoscience conference, EGU24, is only one month away! Each year, the EGU General Assembly brings together over 17,000 researchers, scientists, academics and journalists to discuss and share the latest developments in planetary exploration, Earth observation, polar science, climate change, natural hazards, and much more. And it is held at the Austria Centre Vienna (ACV) which is bi ...[Read More]

An end to the ‘manel’? 3 things you can do to help reduce the existence of all-male-panels.

An end to the ‘manel’? 3 things you can do to help reduce the existence of all-male-panels.

I am pretty sure that everyone has had this experience at one time or another. You attend a meeting or conference and, despite the diversity of people in the audience, the people on the podium invited to speak are uniformly men. If you come from the same part of the world as I do (Western Europe) this experience can also probably be extended to the panel only being white, often native English spea ...[Read More]

The best Christmas gift you could ask for: how a rare solar event created a once-in-a-lifetime Martian experiment

The best Christmas gift you could ask for: how a rare solar event created a once-in-a-lifetime Martian experiment

One of the realities of studying the Earth, planetary or space sciences is that we are attempting to observe an experiment that has been in progress for billions of years, with variables that are most often far outside of our control. Many researchers try to understand these systems by recreating aspects of it, either in analogue experiments or by using simulations, where the variables can be adju ...[Read More]
