Every year, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly transforms Vienna into a bustling hub of scientific discovery. Tens of thousands of scientists from around the world gather to present their latest research, but how do these discoveries reach the public? That’s where the EGU press centre comes in—a space where science meets storytelling, and complex research is translated into stor ...[Read More]
For this year’s Photo Contest, EGU received a number of amazing images capturing a broad spectrum of the geosciences. Since the selection committee whittled the field down to 10 finalists, you have been voting for your favourites throughout EGU25’s week-long conference, both on-site in Vienna at the EGU booth, and online. After an enthusiastic response from voters, we are now ready -and very ...[Read More]
Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active world in our solar system, with hundreds of volcanoes that constantly erupt on its ever renewing surface. Although Io always points the same side toward Jupiter in its orbit around the gas giant, two other Galilean moons, Europa and Ganymede, pull Io’s orbit into an irregularly elliptical one. Thus, in its widely varying distances from ...[Read More]
If you’ve ever been to the EGU General Assembly, you know the feeling: everything, everywhere, all at once. Thousands of posters, hundreds of sessions, and approximately a million things competing for your attention (including the lure of the sunshine outside, if only for five minutes). Until someone invents a way to be in more than one place at once, we’re all stuck filtering. We comb through the ...[Read More]
In the age of climate change, glaciers across the Arctic are melting, consequently reducing regional freshwater supplies and contributing to the ongoing rise in global sea levels. But how fast do they melt? And is it possible to predict that? A new study on the Xeitl Sit’ (LeConte) glacier in Alaska aims to answer these questions. The research group from Oregon State University, Harvard University ...[Read More]
A long time ago, when I walked into the Ministry of Education building in Dushanbe (Tajikistan) to inquire about offering an earthquake education workshop in a public school, I had no research agenda, let alone thinking about publishing it one day. All I wanted was to do something useful: sharing earthquake science with school children. Recognizing the value of geoscience communication, my graduat ...[Read More]
