Star Wars has many reasons to pull you in: iconic lightsaber duels, technological advancements such as hyperspace travel, and perhaps most …[Read More]
Welcome to ”Climate Change through a Geomorphological Lens”, a blog series exploring the changing climate from a geomorphological perspective. This first post was inspired by a single figure in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report [1]. It compares precipitation change per degree Celsius of warming across different climate models and observations for …[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. For August, we are featuring the Natural Hazards (NH), Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology (GMPV), and Geodesy (G). They are represented by the journals Solid Earth (SE), Geoscientific …[Read More]

This blog walks us through a novel groundbreaking study published on EGU journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences …[Read More]
Computational geodynamic models are powerful tools for understanding Earth’s deep interior, but how do we know they are producing realistic results? In this week’s News & Views, Alina Valop, a PhD candidate from Virginia Tech, unpacks the world of geodynamic kernels and shows how these sensitivity functions provide a computationally efficient way to benchmark mantle …[Read More]
