August in Ladakh is a time of golden fields and harvest songs, not snowstorms. Yet in 2025, this rhythm broke. Panikhar village in Ladakh woke beneath fifteen centimetres of snow, an unseasonal blanket that changed the functioning of the valley and stunned its people. What began as a glaciological field trip turned into a firsthand encounter with climate uncertainty. This blog captures those extra ...[Read More]
Geological timescales Unless you regularly work in “deep” time or are very interested in Earth’s very ancient history you might not be too familiar with Earth’s geological timescale. What I am referring to is this: From the very beginning of Earth’s formation ~4.5 billion years ago to today each period is defined and catalogued by events that occurred wi ...[Read More]

At the EGU General Assembly 2025, we initiated a short course entitled “Best Practices for Early Career Researcher (ECR) Engagement and Empowerment in Research Projects”, designed and led by Early Career Researchers (ECRs). The goal was to provide an interactive platform for ECRs, project leaders, and anyone involved in research projects to come together, reflect, share experiences, co-learn, and ...[Read More]
When a tremor shakes the ground, the first thing many people do isn’t check a scientific database: they reach for their phone. Within seconds, searches like “earthquake near me” surge across Google. This simple phrase captures something profound: a universal need not to understand seismic mechanics, but to know “Am I safe?” Over the past few years, this “near me” framing has quietly reshaped how t ...[Read More]
An isolated, idyllic, and inspiring setting in the gorgeous Centennial Valley of Montana, where nothing pulls your attention from the task ahead, a motivated group of PhD students and postdocs in glaciology, and five energetic lecturers: the perfect combination for tackling the ambitious challenge of exploring the interface between glaciology and machine learning. Who wouldn’t learn well here, esp ...[Read More]
Prof. Dr. Ulrike Lohmann is a leading atmospheric physicist and climate scientist at ETH Zurich’s Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, renowned for her pioneering work on clouds, aerosols, and their interactions within the Earth’s climate system. Her research has significantly advanced our understanding of how microscopic particles influence cloud formation and, in turn, the global ...[Read More]
When a river becomes your drinking water When you open the tap in Tarnów, a charming city in southern Poland with a history dating back to the Middle Ages, chances are that most of the water you are about to drink once flowed in the nearby Dunajec River. Yet between the river and your glass lies an invisible world: a network of sand and gravel that filters, delays, and transforms the river’s wate ...[Read More]
Twenty years ago, a small group of scientists set out to create a journal dedicated entirely to understanding Earth’s climate history. That journal, Climate of the Past (CP), was launched in 2005 as an international open-access journal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and over the past two decades it has become a cornerstone for the paleoclimate community. From geological eras to the last ...[Read More]
