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 May we are not highlighting any specific Division as our monthly plan will start in June, so this month our GeoRoundup Journals will be alphabetical! Highlights Earth System Dynamics: Dependency of the impa ...[Read More]

The Sassy Scientist – To fly or to couch surf
One thing that the COVID pandemic has left us is the flexibility to attend a conference either in person or virtually. This has been the case for the last three editions of the EGU GA. As the deadline for an expected conference approaches, we face the dilemma of whether to attend it in person or opt for the virtual experience. Louis is asking: Should I fly to attend this conference or should I wat ...[Read More]

Bits and Bites of Geodesy – Satellite altimetry: What else can we do with it?
In the previous post of this series, we learned how we can use satellite radar altimetry to retrieve highly accurate estimates of global sea level changes. If only reading “sea level” triggers your climate anxiety – we got you covered! In this post we will introduce you to three more applications of radar altimetry, where the first two are not directly connected to climate change. Instead, w ...[Read More]

Public engagement in science: how to position ourselves?
The recent student protests against the war in Gaza reminded all of us that being a member of the academic community requires us to reflect upon our role in society. In Switzerland, the university occupations (see SwissInfo) led to several open letter-type reactions from academic staff, either supporting the protests or on the contrary, recalling that scientists should abstain from activism. This ...[Read More]

GeoTalk: Meet Dan Evans, the new Early Career Scientist Union Representative!
Hello Dan. Thank you for agreeing to this interview! Before we dig deeper, could you tell our readers about yourself and your career background in soil science? Absolutely, Simon, thank you so much for inviting me to this interview. Well, one of my earliest memories is being in the garden, ripping up the grass to poke my fingers into the soil beneath. That curiosity has fuelled a life-long passion ...[Read More]

Two phase or not two phase
In this week’s blog Shi Joyce Sim from Georgia Institute of Technology shares the underlying science behind two-phase flow dynamics. A talk at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in March got me thinking. Basically, the presenter described how boundary layers grow over time, a phenomenon that cannot be captured using one dimensional models and necessitates modeling in higher dimensi ...[Read More]

Chasing solar storms and coffee breaks
Erika Palmerio, a leading early career scientist working on conditions in space driven by solar activity, shares her journey of networking and inspiration.
Natural Hazards
Evolving multi-hazard paradigms in a nutshell
Understanding multi-hazard approaches is crucial in an era of escalating natural hazards leading to disastrous impacts on Earth’s citizens. Triggered by the increasing frequency and severity of these events, this brief post provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of evolving paradigms in multi-hazard research and management. By exploring definitions, historical developments, and curren ...[Read More]

Cryo Comm – Explaining ice core science with “cool” educational videos
Mastering the art of science communication is becoming more and more important, especially in the realm of climate science! Training and practice can really help PhD students acquire this skill. With this in mind, the DEEPICE project, a training network of 15 PhD students, has developed a wide range of activities to train the DEEPICE students, including the creation of a series of educational vide ...[Read More]
