AI: the good, the bad, and the forgotten

AI: the good, the bad, and the forgotten

AI is here, and when I say here, I mean e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. For all you know, this blog may have been written by an algorithm (it wasn’t — I’m not a robot, promise. Or am I?). In what feels like the blink of an eye, AI has gone from a curiosity to a fully-fledged co-pilot in science (and out of science). It’s generating satellite imagery, helping compute paleo-climate predictions, or writing your ...[Read More]

Outside the Conference: Vienna and Beyond

Outside the Conference: Vienna and Beyond

EGU’s General Assembly (GA) has been in Vienna for over 15 years now. There are practicalities that make it a suitable choice, such as Vienna being able to accommodate 15-20 thousand on-site participants and its location allowing many EGU members to travel there by ground-based transportation. Still, the GA’s experience also encompasses what is outside what’s outside the conferen ...[Read More]

Fieldwork maze: where are we and where are we going?

Fieldwork maze: where are we and where are we going?

Bracing the elements to be rewarded with new data — and spectacular views in the process — can be an experience of a lifetime. Yet, zooming out of the easily romanticized image can quickly paint a different scene, where negative experiences from fieldwork drive people away from the research. Moreover, some fieldwork practices prevent people from participating in the first place. Shedding a spotlig ...[Read More]

Io: a spongy world consumed by molten rock

Io: a spongy world consumed by molten rock

Jupiter’s moon Io is the most volcanically active world in our solar system, with hundreds of volcanoes that constantly erupt on its ever renewing surface. Although Io always points the same side toward Jupiter in its orbit around the gas giant, two other Galilean moons, Europa and Ganymede, pull Io’s orbit into an irregularly elliptical one. Thus, in its widely varying distances from ...[Read More]
