I am sure that there are many geologists who take a keen interest in wine, and not just in drinking it. Explaining the vast diversity of quality, flavours and aromas is no simple task, and what fascinates me is the relative role of the geology, and the associated soils, in determining which vineyards are winners and losers. Many factors will influence the character of the wine, generally summarize ...[Read More]
Hello Gino! Welcome to GeoTalk. Could you tell our readers a little bit about yourself and your background? Sure thing! My background is mostly in tectonics, geomorphology and the evolution of (active) fault systems, which I developed during my studies at Utrecht University and my PhD at the IPGP (Paris). Initially I focused on the way that coastlines record either uplift or subsidence in response ...[Read More]

The impact of climate change has already and will continue to cause frequent flooding episodes all over the world, with devastating consequences not only for our society but for our natural habitat as well, should we not take immediate action. Therefore, have you ever wondered, what would happen if there was an effective flood modelling system that could quickly run simulations from global dataset ...[Read More]

This edition will be a Scientific Campfire, during which three early career scientists will pres ...[Read More]
Climate change is one of the most urgent problems facing humanity today. Every corner of the planet is already feeling the impacts of climate change, from devastating heatwaves to sweeping floods. The wealthy and powerful are responsible for the lion’s share of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, the impacts of climate change are disproportionately felt by the poorest and most vulnerable members ...[Read More]
With this article, authors Richard Kramer, Charlotte Bruland, Laura Ermert, Yang Lu and Steffen Birk would like to draw your attention to an exciting topic and their EGU 24 session Hydro-Seismology: seismic insights into Water Resources in the context of climate change! Critical Resource – The water cycle under the influence of the climate change The balance of our planet’s eco ...[Read More]
In 2023, EGU offered Peer Review Training for the first time, over three virtual sessions in September and October 2023, with a little homework in between. With more than 100 applications, from which we chose 57, mostly Early Career Scientists (ECS) to fill the available places, the desire for this kind of training in the EGU community was clear. About 80% of the participants completed the trainin ...[Read More]
Always wanted to know the basics of rotational seismology? Follow us into this short blogpost written by our ECS team member Andreas Brotzer. Let’s spin it … or rather rotate it. Most of us enjoy a good spin on a carousel or rollercoaster. Well, we are actually doing this permanently since we live on a rotating planet! Lucky enough, we don’t feel it very much because the rate of rotation is ...[Read More]
