Geodesy is the science of measuring the Earth’s shape, gravity field, and rotation. What if we could make it exciting, fun, and easy for everyone to understand? That’s exactly why the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and its Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) launched the Geodesy Cartoons initiative: to bring geodesy closer to the public through visually engaging and humorous illust ...[Read More]

Breaking the silent awe, Patrick remarked that indeed, “Mont Blanc is still there.” The humor won’t be lost on anyone familiar with the massif. Its unquestionable, human-minimizing presence colours the regions’ cultural a ...[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. During this month, we are featuring Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology (GMPV), Geodynamics (GD), and Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, and Palaeontology (SSP). They are represented by the journals Geoscie ...[Read More]
Fresh out of your bachelor’s degree, or more commonly these days, your master’s degree, it can be tempting to pursue your PhD as quickly as possible. While there are compelling reasons to dive straight in, rushing into a PhD might not be your best choice. To be or not to be a researcher? Before you start firing off applications, take a step back. Forget any expectations you had ...[Read More]

Earth’s structure and dynamics have evolved quite a lot since its formation, and so has mantle dynamics and convection patterns changed along with it. It turns out that phase transition in certain mantle minerals can be an important driver of this change. Today, Ranpeng Li from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany explains how coupling geodynamic models with thermodynami ...[Read More]
