The EGU sponsors an annual science-policy pairing scheme each year to help promote a culture of evidence-informed policymaking and encourage stronger science-policy partnerships! The EGU’s 2020/21 pairing scheme was slightly different from normal, being run virtually rather than in person as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions. This month’s GeoPolicy blog post is written by …[Read More]
Seeing the Yardang rock formations during sunset was a surreal experience. While they seem to have be standing in a sea of water that formed them, the fluid dynamics that actually lead to their existence is the result of wind abrasion by dust and sand and the removal of loose material by wind turbulence. The …[Read More]

A visualisation of an electrical charge moving through plastic. Machines are used to discharge electricity onto surfaces then metallic powders are used to visualise the static. The image is then exposed onto a photopolymer plate and etched with ink. Is is called the photogravure process. Description by Nicolas Strappini, after the description on imaggeo.egu.eu. …[Read More]
The work of the autumn tides at Young Sound, Northeast Greenland, created a fine sand artwork just before the freezing in of the fjord with the approaching winter. Due to the changing sediment of the nearby Zackenberg river, the local coastal erosion is an object of great recent investigations. Description by Maria Scheel, after …[Read More]
