Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights section. During this month, we are featuring Earth Magnetism & Rock Physics (EMRP), Geodesy (G), and Geomorphology (GM). They are represented by the journals Geoscientific Model Development …[Read More]
Mangrove forests, rare tidal woodlands at the interface of land and sea, are extraordinary ecosystems that bridge freshwater and marine environments. These forests support rich biodiversity and invaluable nursery habitat for fish and crustaceans, while also providing food, shelter, and cultural resources to millions of coastal communities. Think of mangroves as sea walls: their dense, …[Read More]
As the Early Warnings for All (EW4ALL) initiative gathers pace with its 1st Multi-Stakeholder Forum last month in Geneva, we have welcomed a recognition by experts of the importance of tailoring early warning systems to local needs. The ambition to ensure everyone on Earth is protected by a multi-hazard early warning system by 2027 is …[Read More]
On July 16, 1965, the Mont Blanc Tunnel, 11.611 km of tunnel piercing the heart of the Alps, opened to traffic, marking a triumph of engineering, geology, and international cooperation. Sixty years later, this civilian artery connecting Chamonix (France) and Courmayeur (Italy) stands not just as a testament to human inventiveness but as an ongoing marvel if viewed through …[Read More]
Just like me, you may have, at some point in your life, come across Malthusian rhetoric: There are too many mouths to feed and not enough resources for a growing population. But what if the problem isn’t people, but an appetite for profit-driven extraction? In this blog, I peel back the myth of overpopulation and …[Read More]

Today we’re not just celebrating that original joyride’s 40th anniversary; we’re strapping in for the wild flight of Part II (1989), the movie that dared to …[Read More]

In a bold leap toward mapping Earth’s final frontier, the seafloor, The International SeaKeepers Society (SeaKeepers), a global non-profit organisation, is proud to support a historic advancement in this effort. As part of the global Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project, SeaKeepers has been mobilising private yachts through its DISCOVERY Fleet since 2021 to collect vital …[Read More]
How do our environments shape who we are? How do we shape them? Most people have a place (or places) that they know or love so deeply it feels inextricable from themselves. A place they keep coming back to over time, maybe even after years of resisting it. For me, it’s the River Neath in …[Read More]
Some humans are racing to map the moon, Mars, and the stars, yet the very ground beneath our oceans remains largely unknown. What does it say about us, that we can chart the craters of distant planets before we bother to understand the seafloor that feeds us, cools us, and regulates our climate? In an …[Read More]
