Harnessing Machine Learning to Advance Tropospheric Ozone Science

and December 5, 2025
Harnessing Machine Learning to Advance Tropospheric Ozone Science

Machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer powerful tools to address long-standing scientific challenges. At the molecular scale, we’ve seen projects like AlphaFold discover unknown protein structures and how they might interact with other molecules.  At the planetary scale, ML-driven models like GraphCast (Google), AIFS (ECMWF) and ACE (Allen Institute for AI) are revolutionizin ...[Read More]

Why we need to put plants back in the soil carbon picture

Happy International Soil Day (5 December)! Today, we’re celebrating the incredible capacity of soil organic carbon (SOC) to fight climate change. But hold the celebratory cake! A paper in the journal SOIL by Raza et al. (2025) has exposed an unexpected scientific blind spot, and it’s a bit surprising! The paper, titled “Missing the input: the underrepresentation of plant physiology in ...[Read More]

On hidden disabilities: An Oceanographer’s guide to thriving with autism in STEM

Hi! I am Fernanda Matos, an Oceanographer and autistic! Autism is considered a hidden disability, but it is not at all an easy disability. Unlike popular opinion, I am not like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, nor am I like my autistic peers. I am unique and part of a spectrum. When we talk about disability, we’re talking about conditions like autism, blindness, hearing impairment, or a mot ...[Read More]

Growing geological Christmas trees: salt ‘Christmas-tree’ structures explained

and December 3, 2025
Regional profile through salt structures in the eastern part of the Dutch graben, southern North Sea

As geoscientists, we tend to see geology everywhere. Around Christmas, many people stare at decorated fir trees and twinkling lights; salt tectonicists stare at seismic lines and outcrops and see… trees as well. Tall stems, branching limbs, stacked “tiers” of material; a whole forest of geological Christmas trees hiding in the subsurface. In salt provinces around the world, from the Flinders Range ...[Read More]

SEDIMENTARY BASINS OF ALGERIA: THEIR ROLE IN EUROPE’S ENERGY SECURITY AND EMERGING GREEN HYDROGEN FUTURE

Algeria is often described as one of the great energy engines of Africa and the Mediterranean, and with good reason. Its proven oil and gas reserves are impressive, but what truly sets the country apart is the extraordinary complexity of its geological history. Over more than two billion years, tectonics, climate shifts and sedimentation created a series of basins that today host some of North Afr ...[Read More]

GMPV ECS Campfires – Mineralogy Meets Soil Science: Remediation, Weathering Processes and Interactions

December 2, 2025
Joint Campfire - GMPV - SSS

How do minerals shape the future of soils, and how do soils drive mineral transformations? This campfire highlights remediation strategies, contamination hazards, and mineral–soil interactions that control water quality, carbon storage, and ecosystem health. Join us on Wednesday, December 17th @ 11 am CET to explore how weathering, organo-mineral processes, and innovative approaches help tackle po ...[Read More]
