China’s Hainan Unlocks Mysteries of Heat and Sodium Transport 80–100 km Above Earth

Xingjin Wang March 24, 2026

When we gaze at the sky, our eyes often linger on blue horizons, floating clouds, or twinkling stars—rarely do we think about the critical processes unfolding 80 to 100 km above ground. This region, known as the mesopause, acts as a vital transition zone for aviation and aerospace activities (not vital for routine commercial aviation, but it is indispensable for high-altitude aerospace, experiment ...[Read More]

Recent highlights in Biogeosciences

Nicola Krake, Lana Flanjak, Markus Diesing, Marija Sciberras, Rachel Strickman, David McLagan and Excellent Eboigbe March 24, 2026

Want to know more about the latest breakthroughs in biogeochemistry? Then you’ve come to the right place. Across marine biogeochemistry, fisheries science, and environmental health, new research is mapping the unintended consequences of a warming and increasingly exploited planet. By tracing carbon and contaminants through water, sediments, and food systems, these studies offer a portrait of Earth ...[Read More]

When European pollution reshaped the Asian summer monsoon

Massimo Bollasina March 23, 2026

The Asian summer monsoon is one of the most powerful climate phenomena on Earth. Each year, it brings life-giving rainfall to billions of people across South and East Asia. Its arrival determines harvests, water supply, food security, and economic stability. We often think of the monsoon as something driven locally: by the heating of the Indian subcontinent, by ocean temperatures, or by reg ...[Read More]

Geomythology and Science: a long lasting yet hidden relationship

Filippo Carboni and Tim Burbery March 19, 2026

The links between geomythology and science are considerable and officially began with the works of Vitaliano (EGU Blog – Geomythology. True science and/or strong communication medium ?!) and continues nowadays thanks to the Geoheritage Journal edited by Springer Nature, and evident in two proposed sessions to the EGU sessions, including one from the 2025 conference entitled “Geomythology: Bridging ...[Read More]

Improve your chances in hiring processes and proposal evaluations: curate your ORCID

Bettina Schaefli March 19, 2026

Today – while preparing my latest Sience – CV (SciCV) version for a proposal submission – I noticed that I will soon celebrate my 20th net-academic-age birthday* (see below). No worries, my editorial is not about looking back on my career, but about offering some hints on how to keep up with evolving research evaluation practices. One of the things that is evolving quickly (for academi ...[Read More]

Subduction interfaces are complicated – and that’s their beauty!

P. Io Ioannidi and edited by Nuno Rodrigues March 18, 2026

The dynamics of subduction zones are strongly influenced by the subduction interface. Understanding its rheology enables geodynamic modellers to better simulate these systems and unravel the fundamental processes that govern them. In today’s blog post, we explore subduction interface rheology and discuss effective approaches for modelling it. What is a subduction interface? I first met a subductio ...[Read More]

Why did the Amazon forest become a CO2 source in 2023?

Bikem Ekberzade March 17, 2026

When simulations help highlight an anomaly, scientists who are curious commit to dig deeper, and of course when resources but most importantly data is available, you get good science. In the third episode of the EGU Biogeosciences Division podcast series Bikem Ekberzade talks with Santiago Botia to look at the story behind a recent study that was published in AGU Advances. You can listen to the po ...[Read More]
