When we gaze at the sky, our eyes often linger on blue horizons, floating clouds, or twinkling stars—rarely do we think about the critical processes unfolding 80 to 100 km above ground. This region, known as the mesopause, acts as a vital transition zone for aviation and aerospace activities (not vital for routine commercial aviation, …[Read More]
Want to know more about the latest breakthroughs in biogeochemistry? Then you’ve come to the right place. Across marine biogeochemistry, fisheries science, and environmental health, new research is mapping the unintended consequences of a warming and increasingly exploited planet. By tracing carbon and contaminants through water, sediments, and food systems, these studies offer a portrait …[Read More]
The Asian summer monsoon is one of the most powerful climate phenomena on Earth. Each year, it brings life-giving rainfall to billions of people across South and East Asia. Its arrival determines harvests, water supply, food security, and economic stability. We often think of the monsoon as something driven locally: by the heating of …[Read More]
Europe’s biggest geoscience conference, EGU26, is just over one month away! Each year, the EGU General Assembly brings together over 19,000 researchers, scientists, academics and journalists to discuss and share the latest developments in planetary exploration, Earth observation, polar science, climate change, natural hazards, and much more. And it is held at the Austria Centre …[Read More]
The links between geomythology and science are considerable and officially began with the works of Vitaliano (EGU Blog – Geomythology. True science and/or strong communication medium ?!) and continues nowadays thanks to the Geoheritage Journal edited by Springer Nature, and evident in two proposed sessions to the EGU sessions, including one from the 2025 conference …[Read More]
Today – while preparing my latest Sience – CV (SciCV) version for a proposal submission – I noticed that I will soon celebrate my 20th net-academic-age birthday* (see below). No worries, my editorial is not about looking back on my career, but about offering some hints on how to keep up with evolving research evaluation …[Read More]
Hello Christina! Welcome to GeoTalk. Before we dive in, could you introduce yourself to our readers? Hey everyone! I’m a researcher at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) in Montpellier in the South of France. For my work, I specialise in remote sensing and hydrological modelling, with study areas in Cambodia, Tunisia, and …[Read More]
The dynamics of subduction zones are strongly influenced by the subduction interface. Understanding its rheology enables geodynamic modellers to better simulate these systems and unravel the fundamental processes that govern them. In today’s blog post, we explore subduction interface rheology and discuss effective approaches for modelling it. What is a subduction interface? I first met …[Read More]
When simulations help highlight an anomaly, scientists who are curious commit to dig deeper, and of course when resources but most importantly data is available, you get good science. In the third episode of the EGU Biogeosciences Division podcast series Bikem Ekberzade talks with Santiago Botia to look at the story behind a recent study …[Read More]
Earthquakes remain among the most disruptive natural hazards worldwide, capable of causing sudden loss of life, severe economic damage, and long-lasting societal impacts. One of the most effective tools developed in recent decades to mitigate these effects is Earthquake Early Warning (EEW), a real-time monitoring strategy that exploits a fundamental physical property of earthquakes: seismic …[Read More]
