This week inaugurates a new series of posts: Geekology, fusion of geek and geology. In this section, we will try to unravel tips and tricks of programming applied to geodynamics, from new innovative libraries to good programming practices, interviews with geologists who code and more! To kick off the series, this week’s article is written in collaboration with Baptiste Bordet, doctoral resea ...[Read More]
“Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection,” is edited by Dr. João C. Duarte and published by Elsevier. The book brings together contributions from more than 40 renowned authors in the fields of geology, geodynamics, tectonics, petrology and geophysics. It offers the unique authors’ perspective on the interconnected processes of plate tectonics and mantle convection and their v ...[Read More]
Alright, buckle up folks for this blog post, because we’re about to explore the wild ride of plate tectonics between the Iberian Peninsula (Eurasia plate) and North Africa (Nubia plate). These two plates are moving slowly at a moderate pace of 5-7 mm per year, which might not seem like much, but it’s enough to shake things up—literally! In a recent paper, published by our journal Solid Earth ...[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. For August, the divisions we are featuring are Natural Hazards, Climate: Past, Present & Future, and Seismology. They are served by the journals: Climate of the Past (CP), Earth System Dynamics (ESD), Weather and C ...[Read More]
When working on legislation, policymakers often require scientific evidence or expertise to support their decision-making. Scientific information can help policymakers to identify any unintended consequences of a policy decision and access solutions that they may not have otherwise considered. In many cases, the information that researchers give to policymakers is a summary of a single study that ...[Read More]
‘What I wish someone told me early in my career’ is a new Geolog series that aims to provide valuable insights and guidance to early-career professionals within the European Geosciences Union (EGU) community. Each month, I will interview a staff member of EGU to share their personal career journey, experiences, challenges faced, and the tips they wish they had received earlier in their careers. Th ...[Read More]
I had the pleasure of interviewing Fergus McAuliffe, the Communications and Public Engagement Manager at iCRAG, University College Dublin in Ireland, to discuss his award-winning project, “Marine Geoscience for All.” During our conversation, Fergus shed light on the innovative ways his project aims to connect the public with marine geoscience through art, dialogue, storytelling, and education. Rea ...[Read More]
