“State of the ECS”: EGU 23 and, our new members!

Hi everyone! We are now well into the summer, and I can look back at a year of being an ECS Seismology representative, and at the incredible EGU GA this year. It was great to have the posters back this year: I had a poster and no amount of water could have saved me from talking that much. It was such an interesting experience, and I got to talk to a great amount of people. Also the social events w ...[Read More]

Exploring Submap: Subduction Zones Data Mapping and Analysis in just a few clicks

Subduction zones are areas where one tectonic plate dives beneath another one and sinks into the Earth’s mantle, creating powerful earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Understanding the intricate details of subduction zones can be a daunting task, and retrieving the necessary data often feels like an uphill battle. But fear not! The Geosciences Montpellier Laboratory in France has come to the rescu ...[Read More]

Two centuries later, the world is yet to fully understand Nikola Tesla

Two centuries later, the world is yet to fully understand Nikola Tesla

Most people associate Tesla with the multi-billion American automotive and clean energy company, and by that extension, with Elon Musk. But with today (July 10th) being Nikola Tesla Day, it gives us a rare opportunity to discover the man behind the name – the Serbian American scientist who contributed to scientific progress and advances in technology that we still heavily rely on today. Tesla is c ...[Read More]

Did you know there is light pollution even in the Arctic?

Did you know there is light pollution even in the Arctic?

Light emissions are increasing worldwide and much of the world is light polluted due to excessive and inefficient light use. This has negative consequences for many organisms, such as birds, insects, fish, plants and humans. Even in the high Arctic, which is remote and sparsely populated, and experiences the polar night for a large part of the year, there are artificial light sources which disturb ...[Read More]
