Robots in the Arctic: An autonomous adventure to Greenland’s outlet glaciers

mountainous coast with a glacier cutting through the center, opening to ocean

Research cruises are a fundamental part of the cryospheric sciences. As the Arctic warms, the systems that shape our world look much different from one season to the next, making it more critical than ever to measure the changes of our icy world. Here, three early-career researchers share insights from a cruise they took part …[Read More]

Mars’ lost oceans: Inside the new planetary hydrology model published in EGU’s Geoscientific Model Development (GMD)

Mars’ lost oceans: Inside the new planetary hydrology model published in EGU’s Geoscientific Model Development (GMD)

If we look at Mars today, we’ll see a cold, dusty desert, but peel back the surface geology, and the planet tells quite a different story! Networked river valleys, ancient deltaic fans, carved impact crater lakes, and potential palaeoshorelines all point to a warm and active past during the Noachian and early Hesperian epochs, circa …[Read More]

Next-Gen Computing in Geosciences: High-Performance Computing, AI, and Quantum Frontiers

The Earth is an intricately coupled system, and simulating its behavior (from volcanic eruptions to global climate shifts) requires immense computational brute force. For decades, computers have been the quiet backbone of geosciences. Today, however, we stand at a major inflection point. High-Performance Computing (HPC) is pushing the boundaries of high-resolution simulations, while emerging technologies …[Read More]

GeoRoundup: the highlights of EGU Journals published during September!

Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights section. For September, we are featuring Earth Magnetism & Rock Physics (EMRP),Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (GI), and Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (ESSI). They are represented by the …[Read More]

GeoTalk: meet Luigi Bianco, geophysicist and GI Early Career Scientist representative

Luigi Bianco

Hello Luigi! Thank you for agreeing to this GeoTalk interview. Could you briefly introduce yourself and your background to our readers? Hi Simon and the EGU community! I’m a postdoc researcher in applied geophysics at the University of Naples Federico II. My research focuses on developing advanced potential field modelling and inversion techniques to image …[Read More]

The Breath of Forests, Cities, and Everything in Between: Eva Pfannerstill and the Air We Cannot See

The Breath of Forests, Cities, and Everything in Between: Eva Pfannerstill and the Air We Cannot See

There is a slow-moving silver shape drifting over the forests and cities of North Rhine-Westphalia. From the ground, it looks almost ceremonial — a Zeppelin NT gliding through the air as though time had reversed by a century. Inside, sensors are humming. And Eva Pfannerstill is watching the data appear. She is not there to …[Read More]

Beyond ‘black and white’: rethinking continental drift and land bridges through plate tectonics and orogenic bridges

In this essay, Jean-Baptiste Koehl reflects on the origin of a 100-year-old divide within the geoscience community and explores how tectonics and paleontology may be brought closer together through the concept of orogenic bridges. Disclaimer: The reflections presented here reflect my perspective grounded in my own research and experience.   One of the most iconic …[Read More]
