The study of sedimentary architecture and topography to reduce Earthquake damages: a sedimentological perspective on the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes

The area were most collapses occurred is a former alluvial outlet for the drainage of water and sediment from the upper parts of the Ahir Mountain When it comes to earthquakes, the nature of the Earth surface geology and its geometry is critical to understand the intensity and type of motion of the ground where we live. Of course, other factors matter when assessing the risk of damage in human-mad ...[Read More]

GeoRoundup: the highlights of EGU Journals published during February!

Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights roundup. For February, the Divisions we are featuring are: Geodesy (G), and Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Palaeontology (SSP). They are served by the journals: Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) and Solid Earth (SE). Featu ...[Read More]

Sea level rise: a global threat in a warming planet

Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by seas and oceans but in the geological past the extension of sea and land has varied several times as sea level changed over time. During the past millions of years, the oceans have cyclically retreated and expanded with the alternating of warmer and colder climatic periods in consequence of the astronomical motions of the Earth, repeatedly changi ...[Read More]

Imaggeo On Monday: the EGU Photo Competition – dynamic geoscience

In 2010 EGU held our first annual Photo Competition at the General Assembly in Vienna. Since then hundreds of photos have been shared on imaggeo by geoscientists and researchers just like you, with a lucky few being selected each year to be highlighted during the meeting and voted on by our members.   These images can be of anything to do with geology or geoscience – we get many beautif ...[Read More]

Unravelling the Complex Drivers of Wildfires in the Era of Climate Change

In the last decades, the strength of climate change has been evident across the globe in many weather and climate extremes occurrences, including heatwaves and droughts. Those events are involved in all fire stages and influence all aspects of the fire regime [1].    Climate change is driving unprecedented wildfire in the Mediterranean region  The Mediterranean region is a climate change hots ...[Read More]

Arctic Frontiers Emerging Leaders

Here on the Cryoblog we often talk about the impacts of climate change in the Cryosphere. So now for something completely different: how does this fit into sustainable development in the Arctic? Here, I take you on a journey through the Arctic in a round-up of the recent Arctic Frontiers Emerging Leaders program, a unique early-career and mentoring program bringing together academic, industry, ind ...[Read More]

Ambient seismic wavefield: how noise can be a signal

Every now and then, the surface of our planet shakes violently during earthquakes like the recent magnitudes 7.8 and 7.5 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Sequence in Türkiye. These vibrations are recorded by instruments called seismometers and are then processed and analyzed by seismologists to study the earthquake processes themselves as well as other deep Earth structures. Interestingly, seismometers al ...[Read More]

Enigmatic Climatic Event: Antarctic Cold Reversal

In this week’s blog, Levan Tielidze tells us about the insight into the response of mountain glaciers to the Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR) event in New Zealand to better understand the climatic history of the Southern Hemisphere during the last deglaciation. The ACR was a cold period occurred in the Southern Hemisphere during the transition from the last glacial period to the current interglacial ...[Read More]

Women claim their space in science and encourage you to do the same!

The world we live in today has innumerably more career options than our parents and their parents did. But women and young girls continue to be a minority when it comes to careers in science. Experts call this the “STEM Gap”, where STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. According to a UNESCO report, women still only make up 28% of the STEM workforce. Two of the leading r ...[Read More]

From Physics to Interdisciplinary Climate Science: Interview with Florentine Weber, Early Career Scientist Representative

Kirsten M Florentine Weber (born 1990), is the Early Career Scientist (ECS) representative of the Hydrological Sciences division of the EGU. She just finished her PhD and is starting a post-doctoral fellowship in 2023.  As ECS representative, it is her job to help young researchers to navigate the community – to inform them about their opportunities, to listen to them, and give them a voice ...[Read More]
