An isolated fjord at the edge of the Southern Patagonia Icefield. A small cluster of tents pitched beside Bernal Glacier. Fourteen days without roads, cell reception, or routine – only creaking ice fronts, restless wind, the constant murmur of meltwater, unrelenting rain, and a team of fellow adventurers as companions. The Patagonia Icefield Research Program …[Read More]
After a big success last year, GeoCinema is back for EGU26! As many of you know, doing science is very rarely just about the research, but also involves sharing that research in several forms and formats. For many talented researchers this means using films. Either working with a film-maker or creating something themselves, several of …[Read More]
The ocean surrounding Antarctica plays a crucial role in the climate system. Along parts of the Antarctic coast, very cold and salty water becomes dense enough to sink all the way to the ocean floor. This process forms Antarctic Bottom Water: the deepest water mass in the global ocean, representing about 40% of its total …[Read More]
The aim of risk management is to prepare society in order to limit loss and damage when an extreme event occurs and to restore the functioning of society afterwards . While current risk management practices are helpful in many regards, they fall short when it comes to unprecedented events. An analysis of event pairs and …[Read More]
We spoke to Corinne Le Quéré, a Royal Society Research Professor of Climate Change Science at the University of East Anglia (UK). She is the recipient of the 2025 Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky medal of the EGU, awarded annually by the Biogeosciences division to those who make an exceptional contribution to biogeosciences. Can you tell us …[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 18th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in April. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, David Rodríguez Collantes and Klara Middendorf. Below, you can find …[Read More]
The Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awards highlight exceptional scientific contributions made by an Early Career Scientist in the fields of Earth Sciences associated with each division. This year, the prestigious recognition for the Geodynamics Division has been awarded to Dr. Sia Gelichkhan, from the Australian National University. Today we have the pleasure of interviewing …[Read More]
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, …[Read More]
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 …[Read More]
Until 8 April, every participant registered for the General Assembly can submit up to three original photos and one moving image on any broad theme related to the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. Photos submitted can be recent or from previous years so if there’s a beautiful photo that you’ve been holding onto, this could …[Read More]
