Democracy from the ivory tower: A response to the Anti-autocracy Handbook from a Global South perspective

Yet another global guide to saving democracy, this time titled The Anti-Autocracy Handbook: A Scholars’ Guide to Navigating Democratic Backsliding, authored by an all-star cast of academics based in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. Because, clearly, when it comes to understanding the creeping rise of authoritarian regimes, who better to consult than experts who live and work in societies whe ...[Read More]

Kamchatka Megathrust Earthquake: What lies in the Pacific Ring of Fire

From the very early years on this Planet, earthquakes have always captivated people’s attention. The feeling of admiration and fear always lies within us, especially drawing on the most recent megathrust earthquake that hit the south coast of Kamchatka’s Peninsula, in Russia, twice this year. Therefore, in this week’s blog, we aim to explore how this phenomenon evolved and why this specific region ...[Read More]

Seeing Geodesy clearly – suitable colours for effective and inclusive visualization

Effective scientific communication of geodetic research often relies on clear visualizations, and colours are needed to make complex data much easier to understand. However, traditional colormaps don’t always provide the needed clarity and can be especially challenging for people with colour-vision deficiencies (CVD). In this post, we will first describe what CVD is and how it is present in academ ...[Read More]

Working in industry during your PhD

A guide for early career researchers exploring opportunities beyond academia Pursuing a PhD often starts with the assumption that your next step will be a postdoc, followed by a tenure-track position. But, for a number of reasons, many early career researchers are starting to look beyond academia. Industry careers represent an appealing alternative as they offer stimulating work, competitive salar ...[Read More]

Geomythology. True science and/or strong communication medium ?!

Geomythology. True science and/or strong communication medium ?!

Geomythology is a relatively recent term, coined by Dorothy B. Vitaliano in 1966. It represented the birth of what will become a new multidisciplinary approach, aimed not only at explaining the geological meaning of natural phenomenon behind long-told folklore (myths and legends), but also at bridging the communication gap between scientists and non-scientists (Vitaliano, 1973). Geomythology estab ...[Read More]

The Sassy Scientist – Gone but not forgotten: a tribute

Between protests and strikes, I finally found some time to answer some questions. In case you are not aware – idk how that’s possible… do you live on Neptune? – everything is on fire, has been for a long time tbf. So I chose Michel’s question. They ask: I’m lost. I feel like I don’t belong in academia, but neither in industry. What do I do? Dear Michel, Gosh, it has been a long time si ...[Read More]

Introducing the TIMES initiative

TIMES is the acronym of a large-scale international science initiative “Time Integrated Matrix for Earth Sciences” (Link: https://www.codd-home.net/times/). The idea is to launch a global program with the aim of synchronizing age models for particularly important geological climate records from the past 100 million years. The motivation for this program is given in a white paper published in the j ...[Read More]

Call for input: A Fisherman’s Guide to Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

As climate change continues to reshape our oceans, science communication remains vital to the research and development of mitigation strategies. For scientists and engineers working on climate solutions, much of the conversation happens through technical papers, conference presentations, and policy memos. But invested communities outside these circles may have little access and limited time to con ...[Read More]
