We will feature some of Priyanka’s work in a later post, but in case you missed it during the week we wanted to share some of Stacy’s photography, to perhaps give you some ideas about how you can represent, communicate a ...[Read More]
Many wild animals make extraordinary long-distance journeys, whether by land, by air or even by sea. Ancestral, and even some modern, humans have likewise undertaken equally impressive odysseys across and between continents. In order to highlight these “epic journeys,” four different research projects were presented during an EGU press conference held on Wednesday. During the virtual presentations ...[Read More]

On Wednesday 6 May (6-8pm CEST), the now famous Geoscience Games Night is going to take place on YouTube as a live stream! So, this is the perfect moment to introduce a new scientific game which for many of you, is going to remind you of a game created in the late 70s in Quebec. Yes, I am talking about Trivial Pursuit! But instead of History, Entertainment and Sports questions, creators Valeria Mi ...[Read More]
On Monday 4th May, we hosted an online webinar for #shareEGU20 in which we invited participants to collaborate in writing geoscience poetry together. ‘Rhyme Your Research’ is a long-running short course at the EGU General Assembly, but this year marked our first foray into the digital environment. Over the course of an hour, 136 participants got together to draw pictures of each othe ...[Read More]
One of the things we will miss the most about being together in Vienna this year, is the great meals and lunches spent with friends (both new and old).

If you want to skip ahead, here are all four of our EGU most iconic GA foods! The classic and essential, yo ...[Read More]
