Did you know that yesterday, Sunday, January 4, 2026, marked 65 years since Erwin Schrödinger passed away? While the internet loves him for his cat in a box thought experiment, Geoscientists love him for something much more practical: the equation. Many of us have spent decades debating the health of a hypothetical feline in a box (I remember watching this episode of the Bing Bang Theory and think ...[Read More]
Before modern instruments, our only clues about past sea events came from written records and folklore. Along the eastern Adriatic coast, stories of sudden floods and “tidal waves” (locally called šćiga) have been passed down for generations. These waves, described as rapid rises and falls of the sea that could flood or empty harbours within minutes, were carved into Adriatic coastal life as rare ...[Read More]
Dr. Dominik Stolzenburg is a chemist in atmospheric physics at TU Wien, specializing in aerosol science and air quality. His work focuses on how ultrafine particles form, transform, and affect both climate systems and human health — especially in cities. Through field measurements, modeling, and data analysis, he explores how human and natural emissions interact, helping policymakers shape cleaner ...[Read More]
38 years ago, representatives from 46 countries around the globe came together to find a solution to the climate crisis. Alerted to an issue discovered by scientists 13 years previously, the representatives of these nations worked together swiftly and with purpose to create an international treaty to combat a major environmental issue. The treaty was signed by all 46 participant nations and would ...[Read More]

Since 2018, Google Earth Engine (GEE) has granted free access to various institutions for academic and non-profit scientific use. The goal of this initiative is to process large amounts of satellite imagery exclusively over the internet (cloud). This innovative option enabled thousands of users from around the world to investigate environmental phenomena at varying resolutions, including over time ...[Read More]
The European Geosciences Union hosts a busy digital programme throughout the year, from seminar-style Campfire events with online networking to free, half-day workshops funded by EGU and organised by our volunteer Committees. Sitting between the two are our webinars: free, community-driven events which are presented live with the recording published later on the EGU Youtube channel. Webinars are a ...[Read More]
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 Atmospheric Sciences (AS), Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (GI), and Tectonics and Structural Geology (TS). They are represented by the journals Geoscientific Model Deve ...[Read More]
Several major holiday periods are coming up in the next months, and for many people this means taking some time off. But for academics, stepping away from work can be very difficult. At EGU25, we explored this challenge in a short course organized by the EGU “Life-Career Wellness” working group, where scientists shared their experiences (and strategies). In this post, we summarize the main points ...[Read More]
