“The number one piece of advice I would give anybody is to pick a problem and go after that problem. Ideally, you should pick a problem that requires a lifetime to solve.” Prof. Siva Sivapalan, episode 1 “A lot of greybeards telling us what we should be doing is absolutely the wrong way to do science. Science is anarchic, it’s bottom-up.” Prof. Mike Kirkby, episode 2 “I wr ...[Read More]
“I am forced into speech because men of science have refused to follow my advice without knowing why. It is altogether against my will that I tell my reasons for opposing this contemplated invasion of the antarctic—with its vast fossil-hunt and its wholesale boring and melting of the ancient ice-cap —and I am the more reluctant because my warning may be in vain.” The opening lines from At the Moun ...[Read More]
Invited guest from the EGU 2025 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award Wind is not easily visible. On historical time scales, its directions and velocities have been measured and recorded by instruments. To some degree, these parameters can also be simulated by climate models. But how about winds in the more distant past? And why would we want to know about them? In many p ...[Read More]
Tidal flats, the muddy reaches of estuaries unveiled at low tide, support rich ecosystems and fisheries worldwide. But these habitats are under threat from climate change, as sea level rise overwhelms the landscape and heavy rainfall scours away the sediment – impacts that scientists are only just beginning to explore. In an effort to understand how shellfisheries are affected by climate change, a ...[Read More]

In this episode of the Biogeosciences podcast series Bikem Ekberzade sat down with the co-organizers of the 2025 Mary Anning Conference, Tristan Quaife and Lisa Wingate, as well as conference participant Catherine Morfopoulos. The conference titled Novel constraints on the coupling between the water and carbon cycles was held in Bordeaux, France. For details on the conference and its presentations ...[Read More]
Scientists are often imagined through a narrow and gendered stereotype. This matters because society’s image of scientist shape who is seen, remembered and valued as a role model. When recognition, leadership and awards are skewed towards male scientists, scientists from underrepresented genders are less likely to feel that they belong, or see a future for themselves in the field. In geosciences, ...[Read More]
What is neurodiversity? Neurodiversity is the concept that individuals experience the world, process information, function and communicate in diverse ways; there is no ‘default’ way of thinking. As a framework it supports the self-advocacy of people who face obstacles due to their needs not being considered in the design of environments and systems. Such individuals think and experienc ...[Read More]
Climate change is having a profound impact on the planet. According to several reports, 2023 was the warmest year on record, with the global average temperature over the 12-month period from February 2023 to January 2024 exceeding the 1.5 °C threshold above pre-industrial levels. Climate change acts as a risk multiplier, as its impacts transcend national borders and amplify existing threats and cr ...[Read More]
A robust estimation of probabilities of extreme floods is the Holy Grail in flood hydrology in view of limited available observations, variability of climate, and complexity of flood generation processes in catchments. Flood frequency hydrology, spearheaded in the past decades by Ralf Merz and Günter Blöschl, offers a powerful toolbox to enhance the reliability of flood probability estimates by co ...[Read More]
