Many people exhibit a strong visual orientation, as a significant portion of human neurobiology is dedicated to processing light; however, this reliance is usually as much a product of our visually-centered environments as it is our biology. Science, however, reminds us that important information can come from different senses as well: sound, smell and tactile information all have something to say ...[Read More]

Fluid injection-induced seismicity: the case of hydrofracking
Seismicity is undoubtedly an integral part of Geodynamics, since seismic data, from large-scale geophysical monitoring, can provide many valuable insights regarding the state of the Earth’s crust; seismicity, however, is not always natural, it can also be induced. In this week’s blog, we explored the subject of fluid injection-induced seismicity mainly through the lens of hydraulic fracturing (HF; ...[Read More]

A trial by fire: Can we learn how to read a burning planet?
I grew up watching my dad come home covered in soot. For most of his life, he worked as a firefighter in a natural reserve in Galicia, in northern Spain, a region of green mountains and steep terrain, almost Lord of the Rings in its landscape, but also a place where fire moves quickly and is notoriously difficult to control. Firefighting crews there are used to the fact that, to even begin work, t ...[Read More]

Mind your mind: surviving the conference rollercoaster
If you’ve ever been to Vienna’s Prater, you might know the ride. I can see it from my hotel window while I am getting dressed to head to the Austria Center Vienna for EGU26. It’s essentially a long, slightly questionable-looking couch, strapped on either side to cables that behave less like cables and more like very enthusiastic elastic bands. One flick of a switch and suddenly — whoooosh! you’r ...[Read More]

Celebrating 20 years of geoscience in Vienna with EGU!
One of our key services (and the way that many people know our organisation) is through our annual General Assembly – a meeting of around 20,000 researchers that is held in Vienna, Austria, and online in each spring. This meeting is a critical event for our community, a place for scientists to get new ideas and come together to discuss their work, plans and struggles, in a world that is increasing ...[Read More]

What do we need to understand the impact of energetic particle precipitation on the atmosphere? Your response can shape a future satellite mission!
Are you working on the magnetosphere, ionosphere, atmosphere, or space weather? We invite members of the scientific, operational, and applied user communities to contribute to a community survey that will help shape a New Earth Observation Mission Idea (NEOMI) Study of Energetic Particle Precipitation (SEEP). Earth’s atmosphere is not isolated from space. Invisible streams of energetic particles c ...[Read More]

The Invisible Chemistry of Life: Jonathan Williams and the Language of the Air Around Us
Prof. Jonathan Williams is an atmospheric chemist at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, where he leads research into volatile organic compounds — the invisible molecules emitted by forests, cities, people, and everything in between. His work spans the Amazon rainforest to cinema audiences, from elderflower blossoms to the breath of cities. Chemist by Chance, Then by Choice J ...[Read More]
