GeoTalk: Meet Viktor Bruckman, interdisciplinary researcher, EGU Division President, and EGU Biodiversity Task Force
Viktor, welcome to GeoTalk! Can you tell us a bit about your current research focus? My current research is on the defossilization of our energy system with a strong focus on the roles of forests and soils in this context. I was originally trained in forestry and my research is still tightly connected with this topic, but it has widened to also include aspects of carbon sequestration, sustainable ...[Read More]

A 12-meter sediment core reveals secrets of the Arctic’s past climate
Extracted from a depth of 2,500 meters, a giant 12-meter long marine sediment core from the Fram Strait, between Svalbard and Greenland, preserves a climate record spanning up to 400,000 years. Its sediment layers offer crucial insights into the Arctic’s past, helping Dr Jochen Knies and his research team answer two important question: Was the Arctic ever ice-free during past warm periods? W ...[Read More]

How numerical modeling helps decipher the dynamics and evolution of Venus
Earth’s sister, Venus, is a planet whose evolution is drastically different from our own. Unravelling the hidden mysteries behind the divergent evolution of these two planets could hold the key to understanding what makes a planet habitable. Using numerical modelling, Diogo Lourenço and Cédric Gillmann unveil the dynamics of Venus while linking them to observations. In today’s blog pos ...[Read More]
