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. During this month, we are featuring Planetary and Solar System Sciences (PS) and Earth and Space Science Informatics (ESSI). They are represented by the journals Geoscientific Model Development (GMD), Annales Geophysic ...[Read More]
Cryosphere scientists know it well; the Arctic doesn’t give up its secrets easily. This is especially true when it comes to exploring permafrost -– frozen soils that store centuries of history underground. Keeping an eye on the state of permafrost is more important than ever, as widespread permafrost thaw is a direct result of rising global temperatures. However, monitoring the vast Arctic is not ...[Read More]
Doing a PhD is a challenge in itself. Doing it in another country, away from family and friends, is even harder.

A new academic and social environment can lead to new friendships, fresh perspectives, and personal ...[Read More]
Demonstrating independence is a critical step when you pursue a career in academia: not only being excellent at executing research, but also showing you can shape ideas into a coherent project, choose the right environment, and lead work that matters. EU funding can be a strong catalyst for that transition, especially in the postdoc phase, because it is designed to reward clear scientific vision p ...[Read More]
1. Congratulations on your OSPP Award 2024! What was your initial reaction to winning, and how has it helped your career as an early-career scientist? I was very delighted and also proud that my work is recognized in this way. I also understood in hindsight why I had little time to breathe during my poster presentation slot; some of the people asking a lot of the questions will have been the judge ...[Read More]
Humankind’s development is often associated with facing challenges.

Mesoscale eddies and Southern Ocean carbon sink The Southern Ocean takes up more than a quarter of the anthropogenic CO₂. Its powerful westerly winds, deep overturning circulation, and intense mixing make it a major player in Earth’s climate system. But beneath this large-scale picture lies a world of swirling, dynamic structures that constantly reshape the ocean’s physical and biogeochemical prop ...[Read More]
