Close the gender gap among EGU awardees: Nominate your women peers

Close the gender gap among EGU awardees: Nominate your women peers

Scientists are often imagined through a narrow and gendered stereotype. This matters because society’s image of scientist shape who is seen, remembered and valued as a role model. When recognition, leadership and awards are skewed towards male scientists, scientists from underrepresented genders are less likely to feel that they belong, or see a future for themselves in the field. In geosciences, ...[Read More]

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. By launching the first interactive open-access journal, they moved the sci ...[Read More]

TS Must-read – wrap up and tectonics history

TS Must-read series, the wrap up  In 2020, we started the Must Read activity by asking the TS community a simple question: which papers do you think every tectonics and structural geology student should read? that led to more than a thousand nominations and lively debate. A short list of 48 Must Read papers was distilled by adding 3 complementary contributions to the 45 entries that had the larges ...[Read More]
