In scientific papers, measuring gases in the atmosphere sounds like a straightforward task: you buy a sensor, you calibrate it, and you let it collect data. However, anyone who worked on this knows that the real atmosphere is a hostile environment for delicate electronics and precision optics. Among humidity saturating your circuits, brutal temperature swings, …[Read More]

Interdisciplinary futures in geoscience: Cross-divisional insights from the Division Presidents – Atmospheric Sciences (AS)
This interview is part of an ongoing series exploring the evolving role of interdisciplinarity across the geosciences. As environmental challenges grow more complex, addressing them requires not only disciplinary expertise but also meaningful collaboration and innovation across fields, methodologies, and communities. In each conversation, I ask Division Presidents to reflect on how cross-divisional work is …[Read More]
Geodesy Cartoons – A Creative Tool for Outreach and Education
Geodesy is fundamental to understanding our dynamic planet. From monitoring sea-level rise and glacier melt to maintaining precise terrestrial reference frames for GNSS and Earth observation, geodesy provides the scientific backbone for many disciplines represented within the EGU and beyond. Despite its importance, geodesy often remains invisible outside the scientific community. Even within geosciences, many people …[Read More]
