Hoverboards, fusion, and future farms: What did Back to the Future (II) get right?

Hoverboards, fusion, and future farms: What did Back to the Future (II) get right?

Fourty years ago, the movie Back to the Future (1985) revved its DeLorean into some hearts, zipping watchers back to 1955 with a grin and a flux capacitor–fueled paradox. Today we’re not just celebrating that original joyride’s 40th anniversary; we’re strapping in for the wild flight of Part II (1989), the movie that dared to ask, “what if Marty McFly really could hoverboard through 2015?” W ...[Read More]

Bits and Bites of Geodesy – From Wobble to Wander: Tracking Earth’s Shifting Rotation Axis

Bits and Bites of Geodesy – From Wobble to Wander: Tracking Earth’s Shifting Rotation Axis

When we think of Earth’s rotation, it is tempting to imagine a perfectly smooth spin. But in reality, Earth’s rotation is irregular and dynamic, and is influenced by forces inside and outside of our planet. To describe the changing orientation of the Earth in space over time Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) are measured with fundamental geodetic measuring techniques, e.g., Very Long Baseline In ...[Read More]

Cryosphere Caps: PhD hats and the researchers that wear them – Episode 4

Cryosphere Caps: PhD hats and the researchers that wear them – Episode 4

This miniseries features the tradition of ‘PhD hat’ making in German research institutes and universities. For those of you unfamiliar with this idea (as I once was), this is one of the final milestones a graduate student has before they are officially a “Dr.”. Upon the successful defense of a thesis, the labmates of the PhD student craft a graduation hat from a mishmash of scrap cardboard and mem ...[Read More]

On finding my water temperature community

On finding my water temperature community

Walking the halls of the EGU General Assembly 2025 a few weeks ago, I was full of child-like curiosity. Being surrounded by people doing fascinating, creative, and innovative research felt like a dream come true. New faces every day, big talks on small advances and complicated methodologies. I learned about mountain ecology and failing snow-models, and I was captured by graphs and animations ̵ ...[Read More]

Trans masculinities, embodied geographies and the River Neath

Trans masculinities, embodied geographies and the River Neath

How do our environments shape who we are? How do we shape them? Most people have a place (or places) that they know or love so deeply it feels inextricable from themselves. A place they keep coming back to over time, maybe even after years of resisting it. For me, it’s the River Neath in South Wales, which rises on the slopes of Fan Gyhirych before winding thirty-one kilometres southeast to the se ...[Read More]
