Are you planning to attend the upcoming EGU General Assembly – either on-site in Vienna, Austria or remotely as a virtual participant? This year, EGU has decided to take time for science, and encourages you to do the same. For us, this means offering our attendees the “best of both worlds,” through a carefully and creatively curated hybrid conference. For you, we hope this means a ton of benefits ...[Read More]
As future-focused as we like to be at EGU, we sometimes pause to look back at the year gone by – just a brief glimpse to appreciate all the good work of 2022! As always, we had so many inspiring and thought-provoking blog posts published this year across the EGU’s official blog GeoLog and division blogs.

This photo is taken at the Pamukkale (meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish), a natural site near Denizli, Turkey. This location is world famous for terraces made of snow-white travertine, a sedimentary rock deposited by water from the hot springs, and a stunning turquoise water color. Close look at the surface texture reveals an extraordinary pattern created by the thermal water slowly f ...[Read More]
This imperfect cube of calcite was formed on the gold surface during the electrochemically assisted scaling process. Once negative electrochemical potential is applied to the gold surface, the oxygen dissolved in water undergoes reduction, yielding hydroxide anions. These anions accumulate at the gold-solution interface, forming a high pH layer. As calcite becomes less soluble with the increasing ...[Read More]
