Earthquakes remain among the most disruptive natural hazards worldwide, capable of causing sudden loss of life, severe economic damage, and long-lasting societal impacts. One of the most effective tools developed in recent decades to mitigate these effects is Earthquake Early Warning (EEW), a real-time monitoring strategy that exploits a fundamental physical property of earthquakes: seismic …[Read More]

25 years of interactive open access publishing: An interview with current and former EGU Publications Committee chairs Barbara Ervens and Ulrich Pöschl
It is not every day you get to celebrate a silver jubilee in the world of digital publishing, but this year, the European Geosciences Union is doing exactly that. Twenty-five years ago, back when most of us were still navigating dial-up internet, EGU was already flipping the script on the black box of scientific publishing. …[Read More]
What’s blobbing inside the Earth? – insights from numerical modelling
Seismic waves tell us that something unusual is happening in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of Earth’s mantle. Beneath Africa and the Pacific lie two enormous thermochemical structures known as Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs). These “large blobs” are slower to transmit shear waves, but beyond that, their physical nature remains one of the biggest open questions …[Read More]

IGS: A Home for the Global Cryosphere
Like many glaciologists (in the broad sense – as in, cryospheric researchers, not just those who study glaciers!), my professional “home” has been the International Glaciological Society (IGS) ever since grad school; My first conference was an IGS branch meeting, I found my postdoc by networking at an IGS symposium, I have published work in …[Read More]
FrenSZ workshop: a French interdisciplinary initiative around subduction zones.
Since 2022, the annual FrenSZ workshop has been bringing together a vibrant and interdisciplinary community around subduction zones in France. In this week’s blog post, we dive into how FrenSZ is organized, highlight its scientific outcomes and how it is opening new connections on the international stage. A large French community. In France, a fairly …[Read More]
Mass Transport Deposits – The smoking gun of submarine landslides
When we think about landslides, we usually picture mountain slopes collapsing after heavy rain or earthquakes. Similar phenomena, often much larger, also occur beneath the sea along continental margins and across the deep ocean floor. Geologists refer to the deposits left behind by these collapses as Mass Transport Deposits, commonly abbreviated as MTDs. When several …[Read More]
HydroTalks: Prof. Sally E. Thompson on ecohydrology, vegetation, climate change and working across continents
In episode 7 of the Hydrotalks podcast, our guest was Dr. Sally Thompson (Sally Thompson – the UWA Profiles and Research Repository). She is a Professor at the University of Western Australia, and the Co-Director of the Centre for Water and Spatial Science. Her research spans ecohydrology, surface hydrology, and Critical Zone Science, exploring how …[Read More]
