Hello, it’s us again! Coming back from the holidays, there couldn’t be a more fitting way to kick off a new blog season than by delving into the world of postdocs or to put it more precisely, by stepping into the shoes of a postdoc.

Cryospheric Sciences
Did you know there’s a (relatively new) treaty for the Central Arctic Ocean?
Even as regular readers of the Cryosphere Blog , you might still be unfamiliar with the large amount of regulation that surrounds the cryosphere – and the research that’s being done on it. As effective regulation of our environment is needed, we need more scientists to understand the law and more lawyers to understand the science. So, brace yourselves and hold on tight, while we run through one of ...[Read More]

I preferred atlases, weather, and g ...[Read More]

“State of the ECS”: EGU 23 and, our new members!
Hi everyone! We are now well into the summer, and I can look back at a year of being an ECS Seismology representative, and at the incredible EGU GA this year. It was great to have the posters back this year: I had a poster and no amount of water could have saved me from talking that much. It was such an interesting experience, and I got to talk to a great amount of people. Also the social events w ...[Read More]
