Phoebe Sleath, a PhD student at the University of Aberdeen, guides us through the intersection of art and geology. She shares how she got into watercolour field sketching, how it became a valuable companion during her PhD journey, and how it serves as a powerful tool for communicating science Why do you like doing geoscience? Throughout my undergrad degree, I would have said: because I like mounta ...[Read More]
As the world commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Montreal Protocol, it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate this landmark agreement’s monumental impact on our planet. Officially known as the “Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer,” this treaty stands as one of the most successful environmental accords in history, showcasing what humanity can achieve when it comes ...[Read More]
The frequency and severity of extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall, droughts, and storms, are increasing globally, putting societies and infrastructures worldwide at risk [1]. These developments demand effective adaptation measures and ways to enhance societal resilience. Consequently, it is necessary to understand how people perceive and respond to natural hazards. Knowing that the occu ...[Read More]
La Soufrière de Guadeloupe is an andesitic stratovolcano located in the southern part of Basse-Terre, within the Guadeloupe archipelago (Eastern Caribbean). It towers over the towns of Sainte-Claude and Basse-Terre. Nearly 50 years ago, this region faced severe consequences from a phreatomagmatic eruption, forcing the evacuation of 80,000 people. Since then, the volcano has been regularly monitore ...[Read More]

This week inaugurates a new series of posts: Geekology, fusion of geek and geology. In this section, we will try to unravel tips and tricks of programming applied to geodynamics, from new innovative libraries to good programming practices, interviews with geologists who code and more! To kick off the series, this week’s article is written in collaboration with Baptiste Bordet, doctoral resea ...[Read More]
Bikem – Welcome to GeoTalk! Can you tell us a bit about your research on climate change and its impact on terrestrial ecosystems? Thank you for having me. My current research focuses on forests and the impact of changes in climatic drivers on these ecosystems in terms of species composition, range shifts, and so on. I’m also curious about the impact that changes in the frequency and se ...[Read More]
