Continental rifts are a striking manifestation of the forces at work in the Earth’s interior and are often associated with volcanic activity. Contrary to intuition, volcanism is not confined to rift grabens, but migrates as the rifts evolve. How and why this happens is still not clear. This week, Gaetano Ferrante from Rice University, Houston …[Read More]
Welcome back to the HydroData Chronicles, where we uncover the hidden stories within hydrological data! In our last post, we explored a novel high-resolution, 40-year rainfall dataset covering the Contiguous United States (CONUS), developed developed by Emmanouil et al. in 2021. This time, we dive into the world of precipitation datasets with a promising new …[Read More]
The third edition of the Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology and Volcanology division’s ECS talks – the Campfires – of 2024 is right at the door and will take place on Thursday June 13th at 4 pm CEST on Zoom. This edition will be a Scientific Campfire, during which three early career scientists will present their …[Read More]
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 section. This May we are not highlighting any specific Division as our monthly plan will start in June, so this month our GeoRoundup Journals will be …[Read More]
One thing that the COVID pandemic has left us is the flexibility to attend a conference either in person or virtually. This has been the case for the last three editions of the EGU GA. As the deadline for an expected conference approaches, we face the dilemma of whether to attend it in person or …[Read More]
In the previous post of this series, we learned how we can use satellite radar altimetry to retrieve highly accurate estimates of global sea level changes. If only reading “sea level” triggers your climate anxiety – we got you covered! In this post we will introduce you to three more applications of radar altimetry, where …[Read More]
The recent student protests against the war in Gaza reminded all of us that being a member of the academic community requires us to reflect upon our role in society. In Switzerland, the university occupations (see SwissInfo) led to several open letter-type reactions from academic staff, either supporting the protests or on the contrary, recalling …[Read More]
In this week’s blog, Garima Shukla, ECS representative of the Geodynamics Division and PhD student at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal, India, working with Dr. Jyotirmoy Mallik, discusses her research involving fieldwork and statistical calculations. Her research also delves into rock magnetism and palaeomagnetism to unravel the longstanding enigmas surrounding the …[Read More]
Hello Dan. Thank you for agreeing to this interview! Before we dig deeper, could you tell our readers about yourself and your career background in soil science? Absolutely, Simon, thank you so much for inviting me to this interview. Well, one of my earliest memories is being in the garden, ripping up the grass to …[Read More]
In this week’s blog Shi Joyce Sim from Georgia Institute of Technology shares the underlying science behind two-phase flow dynamics. A talk at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in March got me thinking. Basically, the presenter described how boundary layers grow over time, a phenomenon that cannot be captured using one dimensional models and …[Read More]
