EGU’s General Assembly continues to adapt and evolve to make our annual conference accessible to all. This year, EGU22 will for the very first time be a hybrid conference, which means new ways of learning and networking for us all! Many Networking and Session conveners will be learning right along with you, and our conference organiser Copernicus has been busy preparing as much as possible t ...[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 roundup. For April as we approach the General Assembly we are not highlighting any specific Division, so this month our GeoRoundup Journals will be alphabetical! All highlights for April Atmospheric Chemistry and ...[Read More]
Now that the registration for on-site participation of EGU22 has closed, those of you who are joining us in Vienna will be getting ready to travel! As a part of your registration to attend in-person, you will have provided your agreement to follow the requirements to enter EGU22 at the Austria Center Vienna that were described on the EGU22 website, as we were instructed by the Austrian Authorities ...[Read More]
After decades of observation, one of the profound consequences of anthropogenic global warming is the rapid rise in temperature in the Arctic, refered to as Arctic Amplification. Compared to the mid-latitudes, warming in the Arctic is twice as fast. The reason is mainly due to the positive feedback of a melting cryosphere: Darker surfaces are revealed from melting cryosphere, reflecting less short ...[Read More]
You’ve come to the end of your PhD and after years and years of hard work, one last question remains: “Should I go to my PhD graduation?”. This week, we have one of our editors Kiran Chotalia sharing her two cents after she finally attended her in-person graduation this year after it was delayed by the pandemic (TLDR; definitely go!). In March 2020, after four and a half years of hard work, meetin ...[Read More]
It’s April, the EGU General Assembly is close, but first the Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology and Volcanology division’s early career scientists talks (EGU campfires) are back! The second session in 2022 (and 17th overall) will be a special edition on Geochemistry. The talks will be held on Thursday 28th April at 11am CEST on Zoom. Our three speakers are: Piyal Halder (PhD Student @ Birb ...[Read More]
The NPG paper of the month was awarded to “Inferring the instability of a dynamical system from the skill of data assimilation exercises” by Yumeng Chen, Alberto Carrassi, and Valerio Lucarini. Geophysical systems are usually described by a set of dynamical equations that are often non-linear and chaotic (Ghil and Lucarini, 2020). Errors about the initial state can grow, shrink, or sta ...[Read More]
Scholz (1998) is the “must-read” review article about rate- and state- variable laws of rock friction. The article is a robust introduction to the state-of-the art of the discipline at the end of the past century and should be considered of particular interest for students and/or early career scientists. In spite of its relative simplicity, rock mechanics unfortunately is still not taught universa ...[Read More]
Despite many efforts around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), a noticeable disparity in geosciences still exists. To understand the root cause and steps we can take forward, it was my privilege to talk with Dr Kuheli Dutt, Assistant Dean for DEI at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Before MIT, Dr Dutt was an Assistant ...[Read More]
Earlier this month, Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change was published by the IPCC Working Group III as the third instalment of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). It emphasises that “rapid and deep” greenhouse gas emission reductions are needed across all sectors to have any chance of keeping the world below 1.5°C of warming above pre-industrial levels. However, it also outline ...[Read More]
