Women in science/geodynamics: a topic we have discussed before and should continue to discuss, because we’re not there yet. In this new Wit & Wisdom post, Marie Bocher, postdoc at the Seismology and Wave Physics group of ETH Zürich, discusses a range of all-too-common encounters women face and a possible solution to awareness: comics (drawn by Alice Adenis, PhD student at ENS Lyon). You ...[Read More]

It is almost time for the scientific assembly of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), an association of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). The EGU Geodesy Division and the IAG have worked together for many years. For example, the IAG has been the main sponsor of the Geodesy Reception at past EGU General Assemblies. Besides this, the IAG coordinates global geodetic ...[Read More]
Just like me, you may have, at some point in your life, come across Malthusian rhetoric: There are too many mouths to feed and not enough resources for a growing population. But what if the problem isn’t people, but an appetite for profit-driven extraction? In this blog, I peel back the myth of overpopulation and show how pinning ecological collapse on mere population numbers diverts attention fro ...[Read More]
Some humans are racing to map the moon, Mars, and the stars, yet the very ground beneath our oceans remains largely unknown. What does it say about us, that we can chart the craters of distant planets before we bother to understand the seafloor that feeds us, cools us, and regulates our climate? In an age of climate breakdown, ecological collapse, and blue economy buzzwords, the seabed has become ...[Read More]
It’s pride month and we are delighted to feature a post on queer inclusion in fieldwork written by members of EGU’s pride group.

This quarterly post is based on the EGU Webinar Uneven Ground 2 on improving fieldwork accessibility ...[Read More]
Bracing the elements to be rewarded with new data — and spectacular views in the process — can be an experience of a lifetime.

Moreover, some fieldwork practices prevent people from participating in the first place. Shedding a spotlig ...[Read More]
