Goodbye 2021: looking forward to the challenges ahead

Goodbye 2021: looking forward to the challenges ahead

When I started as Division president, at the General Assembly in 2019, I thought: “Well, my predecessors were very nice; people did not complain (at least not too much), so I guess I can do exactly as they did.” I was not expecting a virus pandemic that would change so many things, including moving, with short notice, all activities online! As I mentioned in a previous post, I cannot hide that the ...[Read More]

NP Campfire: “Scaling and multifractals : from historical perspectives to recent developments”

Scaling law behaviours are ubiquitous in geosciences both from a theoretical and practical point of view. They are required to better understand, analyse and simulate the underlying processes, which yields the observed variability of geophysical fields over wide ranges of spatio-temporal scales. A group of scientists within the Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences (NP) Division of the European Geosc ...[Read More]

Seasonal love letter

Seasonal love letter

Dear Climate enthusiasts, dear EGU lovers, dear early and senior climate scientists, I write to you in the second of two very challenging years for each and everyone of us. We faced many difficulties, hardships, and maybe even some opportunities and it is the time of the year to reflect on that. For geoscientists it is also the time of the year to plan the next conferences and consider what to sub ...[Read More]

Using comics to talk about sexism in science: how ‘Did this really happen?!’ is trying to change the conversation

Using comics to talk about sexism in science: how ‘Did this really happen?!’ is trying to change the conversation

1953: Marie Tharp created a map that showed the seafloor was spreading via the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and therefore proved the theory of plate tectonics, only for it to be dismissed as “”girl talk” by her (male) supervisors. 1968: A few years after winning the Nobel Prize (without crediting her work), James Watson wrote about Rosalind Franklin saying “By choice she did not emphasize her feminine quali ...[Read More]

On talking about hydrology at non-academic events

On talking about hydrology at non-academic events

Many of us have given talks (or are preparing their first one coming soon) at academic and non-academic events. What are the differences and what should we expect from both types of events? How can early career scientists (ECS) navigate through these two types of events? I wrote this blog post as an attempt to encourage more ECS talks in non-academic events and share my experiences, hoping that it ...[Read More]
