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 April, we are not featuring any particular divisions, but an ensemble of all the highlights of this month instead. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Quiet New Particle Formation is a significant aerosol source in t ...[Read More]

Assessment of multiple predictors to the psychological effects of flooding for residential and business sectors in Peninsular Malaysia
Experiencing a severe flood can lead to profound emotional and mental distress, including anxiety, depression, and long-term stress. These mental health struggles often stem from the trauma of losing cherished possessions, disrupted daily routines, or the terrifying threat to personal safety and the lives of loved ones. Yet, because mental well-being is an “intangible” loss, it is freq ...[Read More]

Multi-Risk Forecasting: Operational Reality or Scientific Ambition?
Reflections from a workshop on multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems for weather-related hazards. With mounting evidence that hazards rarely occur in isolation, the question is no longer whether multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems are needed, but how to build them [1]. Yet, moving beyond single-hazard thinking towards genuinely multi-hazard and t ...[Read More]

GeoTalk: meet Martin Rasmussen, managing director of Copernicus – EGU’s conference and publications partner!
Hello Martin! Welcome to GeoTalk. Could you briefly introduce yourself to our readers? Dear EGU Community! My name is Martin, and since 2004 I have had the honour of being the Managing Director of Copernicus. By training, I am a hydrologist, but even before I graduated, I was drawn into the EGU General Assembly in 2003 in Nice, so this year marks my 24th EGU. To be precise, it is actually my 25th, ...[Read More]

Beyond Navigation: How GNSS Reveals Earth’s Hidden Secrets
Part 2 – the regional case In our previous post, we discussed global scale phenomena, showing how the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) constellation is the ultimate instrument for monitoring the Earth as a whole: tracking plate tectonics, defining the planet’s absolute size, and measuring variations of its gravity field. Essentially, the big questions of our constantly changi ...[Read More]

Beyond wind speed: what really controls air-sea gas exchange?
When we think about what drives air-sea gas exchange (such as CO2), wind usually gets all the credit. Strong winds stir the surface, enhance turbulence, and speed up gas transfer. But a new study in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics shows there is more to the story: CO2 exchange does not just follow the wind, it is also directly affected by surface conditions (Fig. 1). Using the eddy covariance te ...[Read More]

Low-cost equipment keeps urban waterway greenhouse gas emissions research afloat
Greenhouse gas emissions from urban waterways Every field scientist knows to never go to the field without ample supplies of duct tape and cable ties. We utilised this notion daily within the University of Bristol’s Watershed Carbon Lab team, as we undertook a 2-year long field campaign across the UK, Europe and China collecting data for our FLF funded ‘Urban Waterways’ project. Rivers are known t ...[Read More]
