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
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]

Poster safaris, wildcard talks, and other EGU25 adventures
If you’ve ever been to the EGU General Assembly, you know the feeling: everything, everywhere, all at once. Thousands of posters, hundreds of sessions, and approximately a million things competing for your attention (including the lure of the sunshine outside, if only for five minutes). Until someone invents a way to be in more than one place at once, we’re all stuck filtering. We comb through the ...[Read More]

Raising the (melt)stakes! How robotic innovation reveals new findings on melting glaciers
In the age of climate change, glaciers across the Arctic are melting, consequently reducing regional freshwater supplies and contributing to the ongoing rise in global sea levels. But how fast do they melt? And is it possible to predict that? A new study on the Xeitl Sit’ (LeConte) glacier in Alaska aims to answer these questions. The research group from Oregon State University, Harvard University ...[Read More]
