With the EGU General Assembly 26 approaching, now is the time to review the division’s activities! Thanks to the efforts of all the conveners, and the division officers the scientific programme of our division is once again very rich and reflects the evolution of the field. Sessions The sessions are organised into nine blocks: TS1 – Deformation Mechanisms, Rheology, and Rock-Fluid Interactio ...[Read More]

Ready for EGU GA 2026?
Most of us are almost ready to go to EGU General Assembly 2026. It will take place on 3–8 May 2026, with more than 21,000 submitted abstracts (presented as orals, posters, and PICOs, onsite and virtual). The EGU-Programme App is ready to be downloaded. Speakers can already upload their material and of course, all of us can start preparing our personal programme (which can be synchronized with the ...[Read More]

Beyond Navigation: How GNSS Reveals Earth’s Hidden Secrets
Part 2 – the regional case In our previous post, we discussed global scale phenomena, showing how the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) constellation is the ultimate instrument for monitoring the Earth as a whole: tracking plate tectonics, defining the planet’s absolute size, and measuring variations of its gravity field. Essentially, the big questions of our constantly changi ...[Read More]

Beyond wind speed: what really controls air-sea gas exchange?
When we think about what drives air-sea gas exchange (such as CO2), wind usually gets all the credit. Strong winds stir the surface, enhance turbulence, and speed up gas transfer. But a new study in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics shows there is more to the story: CO2 exchange does not just follow the wind, it is also directly affected by surface conditions (Fig. 1). Using the eddy covariance te ...[Read More]

Low-cost equipment keeps urban waterway greenhouse gas emissions research afloat
Greenhouse gas emissions from urban waterways Every field scientist knows to never go to the field without ample supplies of duct tape and cable ties. We utilised this notion daily within the University of Bristol’s Watershed Carbon Lab team, as we undertook a 2-year long field campaign across the UK, Europe and China collecting data for our FLF funded ‘Urban Waterways’ project. Rivers are known t ...[Read More]

A Free Tool That Maps Ancient Coastlines Like an Expert
by Julius Jara Muñoz, Professor of Engineering Geology at the University of Applied Sciences Biberach (Hochschule Biberach), Germany. Email: jara@hochschule-bc.de, website: https://www.hochschule-biberach.de/kontakt/julius-jara-munoz. “Reproducibility is a cornerstone of the scientific method, yet measuring ancient coastlines has long depended on expert judgment – until now”. Coastlines are ...[Read More]
Geodesy
What’s up for geodesy during the upcoming EGU26?
It’s this time of the year again when we all meet up in Vienna and talk about our latest scientific results and, more importantly, network with old and new colleagues. The EGU General Assembly (GA) EGU26 will take place again in a hybrid format. The scientific programme consists, as usual, of oral and poster presentations, Pico sessions, networking opportunities, and short courses. All scientific ...[Read More]
