GeoPolicy: Science Diplomacy in a new Geopolitical order

GeoPolicy: Science Diplomacy in a new Geopolitical order

We have entered a new era of “harsh” geopolitics. Those were the words of the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her keynote speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 21, 2025. It is an era with geostrategic rivalries where commitment to international organisations (e.g. UN, WHO) and global solidarity can no longer be taken for granted. By now it is clear that the c ...[Read More]

Looking Back at the First HS Campfire Events: Meet the 2024 Award-Winners & Explore the Evolution of Socio-hydrology

Looking Back at the First HS Campfire Events: Meet the 2024 Award-Winners & Explore the Evolution of Socio-hydrology

In December and February, the first-ever HS Division Campfire Events took place online!  For our premiere, we invited the 2024 Division award winners to join, present their work, and talk about their personal journeys as researchers. And in January, we took a look back at how socio-hydrology has evolved as a discipline since its inception over 10 years ago.  Let’s take a look at the first two HS C ...[Read More]

The Sassy Scientist – Caged birds

The Sassy Scientist – Caged birds

The news has been super depressing, I need to hit myself deep in escapism. I hope this month’s question will be easy. Let’s see what we have this month …*two hours later*… So, Robin asks: Some of the projects I’m involved in during my postdoc aren’t directly related to the grant funding of my salary. Should I list my PI as a co-author on papers resulting from this work? Dear Robi ...[Read More]

Sparking scientific curiosity in Arctic Students: How they’re tackling big questions

Sparking scientific curiosity in Arctic Students: How they’re tackling big questions

Growing up, I didn’t know what it meant to “do research”. I did some research projects in high school, but research as a field path was totally foreign to me until I started university. Unlike me, the young students who participated in this year’s Arctic Frontiers Science for Schools program were given a first-hand glimpse into what it means to conduct professional research. The Science for School ...[Read More]

Cryosphere Caps: PhD hats and the researchers that wear them

Cryosphere Caps: PhD hats and the researchers that wear them

This miniseries features the tradition of ‘PhD hat’ making in German research institutes and universities. For those of you unfamiliar with this idea (as I once was), this is one of the final milestones a graduate student has before they are officially a “Dr.”. Upon the successful defense of a thesis, the peers of the PhD student craft a graduation hat from a mishmash of scrap cardboard and memora ...[Read More]

How can scientists see ice underground? Recent study reveals how!

How can scientists see ice underground? Recent study reveals how!

When it comes to peering beneath the Earth’s surface, geophysicists have an arsenal of high-tech tools at their disposal. But what happens when you need to track something as elusive as underground ice forming and melting in real time? Enter borehole Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR), the underground detective that helped Peter Jung and his colleagues image frozen subsurface volumes in an experimenta ...[Read More]
