We chatted with Bram Cuyx, an underwater acoustics AI research engineer at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Belgium, about his unique path from engineering into marine science. In this interview, he shares how he made the leap from signal processing in electronics to listening to the soundscape of the North Sea, what it’s like …[Read More]

McMurdo Sound’s 70th anniversary: An expedition journal by Julia Martin
It was October 28, 2022 around 3 p.m. Fascinated by the majestic white snow-covered mountain caps, deep-blue sea ice cracks and light-blue pressure ridges, I gently press my nose against the cold double-glassed window of the Royal New Zealand 757. The tires smoothly touch the ground, and the warm voice of the flight attendant fills …[Read More]

Peak glacier extinction in the mid-twenty-first century
Have you ever wondered how many glaciers will still exist in the future? Or how many glaciers we might lose each year in the coming decades? In our new study (Van Tricht et al., 2025), we shift the focus of glacier modelling from ice volume to individual glaciers. Because every glacier, no matter how small, …[Read More]
Using drones for geological mapping
Geological teaching and education is fast-changing in the 21st century. While fieldwork has long been considered to be the bedrock of geological instruction, over time an increased acceptance has developed for the need to make geological education and training more accessible, especially with regard to fieldwork as this can often involve days and weeks of …[Read More]
Can Machine Learning Help Us Monitor Streams?
Picture this: you’re hiking through a dry landscape when suddenly you hear it—the serene sound of a babbling brook. You round a corner and discover a small waterfall cascading into crystal-clear pools, surrounded by lush green ferns and wildflowers attracting buzzing bees. It feels like stumbling upon a secret oasis. These magical streams that appear …[Read More]

International Day of Women and Girls in Science: Reflections from seismologist Simona Gabrielli
Hello you, and happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! My name is Simona Gabrielli, and I am a researcher at the INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Italy), where I study seismic attenuation (in other words: how earthquakes lose energy while passing through rocks), to understand the presence of fractures and …[Read More]
Fault characteristics, how close is close enough?
Have you ever wondered what common thing connects fault surfaces and their characteristics with your… squeezy sneakers on a wet surface or the required frequent change of your car tyres? Well, the answer is simple. The fundamental principles of stress and friction can significantly cause this behaviour in our everyday lives. However, these two factors …[Read More]
“Should I just jump in the lake in my lab coat?” EGU’s Teacher-Scientist Pairing Scheme
This was the moment when our video duet lesson really started to take shape. Yes, we’d already sketched the idea for a lake stratification lesson months earlier when we applied for EGU’s Teacher–Scientist Pairing Scheme, supported by the Education and Outreach committees, but we wanted an opening that would stop students in their tracks. Nothing …[Read More]
