TS Must-Read – Rowe and Griffith (2015) Do faults preserve a record of seismic slip: A second opinion

Earthquakes shake the Earth almost every day, but what exactly happens within rocks during these seismic events is a matter of debate in the scientific community. The article “Do faults preserve a record of seismic slip: A second opinion,” published in 2015, offers a thoughtful review of the sure and potential records of seismic slip in rocks. The paper examines the notion that rocks i ...[Read More]

Questions about accessibility at EGU25? Your guide to attending with children, special access resources and overcoming conference barriers.

The annual EGU General Assembly is a wonderful chance to gather together with friends and colleagues to discuss recent scientific work, plan new projects and develop your career, but a scientific meeting, especially one the size and length of time of the General Assembly is not an equally accessible experience for everyone. With this in mind over the years EGU have developed a range of resources a ...[Read More]

GeoRoundup: the highlights of EGU Journals published during March!

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. This month, we are not featuring any particular divisions, but an ensemble of all the highlights of this month instead. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Modelled surface climate response to effusive Icelandic volcanic ...[Read More]

GeoPolicy: A Week Inside the European Parliament – Science, Policy, and the Role of Experts

As the selected scientist in the EGU’s 2024 Science-Policy Pairing Scheme, I had the opportunity to experience life inside the European Parliament for a week with the support of Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Jutta Paulus and her team, who are part of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance. A week is short, but in these few days, I gained deeper insights into the inner workings of ...[Read More]

Your top 3 must-reads for a new PhD student in hydrology

Starting a PhD can feel overwhelming. Objectives and deadlines pile up, making it seem like you are juggling a thousand tasks at once. However, there are a few steps that do help you navigate this experience. One of the very first steps is to perform your literature review, which will serve as the foundation for your research. To help other early career scientists tackle this activity at the begin ...[Read More]

Halokinesis: the effect and importance of the most “liquid” rocks in geodynamics

Evaporitic rocks possess unique properties that enable them to form crucial structures for petroleum systems. Salt basins are globally distributed, particularly along the Atlantic margins. Their thermal and mechanical properties can influence the Earth’s crust, altering structural styles and basin architecture, with significant implications for hydrocarbon exploration and geodynamic processes. How ...[Read More]

Cryosphere Caps: PhD hats and the researchers that wear them – Episode 2

March 21, 2025
A group of people standing around a person holding a decorated hat in their hand.

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]
