ROBIN: Tracking Climate Change Through the World’s Most Natural Rivers

ROBIN: Tracking Climate Change Through the World’s Most Natural Rivers

Hydrological change is one of the clearest signals of climate variability and human impact on the environment. Yet detecting these changes reliably requires robust, long-term data from river basins that are as close to “natural” as possible, with little influence from dams, abstractions, land use change or any other human influences. That’s where the ROBIN project comes in.  ROBIN, or the Referenc ...[Read More]

A talk with scientists across Europe: building the future of European heliophysics together

“Heliophysics studies the Sun, its sphere of influence, and how it affects the bodies in the solar system.” – this holistic approach to understanding our space environment is at the heart of the European Heliophysics Community (EHC), an open and inclusive network of researchers across Europe (https://www.heliophysics.eu/). The EHC promotes collaborative, curiosity-driven science that explore ...[Read More]

It’s more than just a date: Unpacking the importance of the International Day of LGBTQIA+ in STEM – Perspectives of a queer woman in science

We cannot solve the world’s most complex problems, from climate change to curing disease, if scientists must leave parts of themselves at the laboratory door. This is a reality that we must acknowledge in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The demand for conformity, the fear of judgment, and the reality of discrimination act as invisible barriers that can limit innovat ...[Read More]

Making earthquakes understandable: How “Near Me” search behavior can guide better risk communication

Making earthquakes understandable: How “Near Me” search behavior can guide better risk communication

When a tremor shakes the ground, the first thing many people do isn’t check a scientific database: they reach for their phone. Within seconds, searches like “earthquake near me” surge across Google. This simple phrase captures something profound: a universal need not to understand seismic mechanics, but to know “Am I safe?” Over the past few years, this “near me” framing has quietly reshaped how t ...[Read More]

“You Can’t Get Around Clouds”: A Conversation with Climate Scientist Ulrike Lohmann

Prof. Dr. Ulrike Lohmann is a leading atmospheric physicist and climate scientist at ETH Zurich’s Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, renowned for her pioneering work on clouds, aerosols, and their interactions within the Earth’s climate system. Her research has significantly advanced our understanding of how microscopic particles influence cloud formation and, in turn, the global ...[Read More]

20 years of Climate of the Past: A journey through two decades of paleoclimate research

Twenty years ago, a small group of scientists set out to create a journal dedicated entirely to understanding Earth’s climate history. That journal, Climate of the Past (CP), was launched in 2005 as an international open-access journal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and over the past two decades it has become a cornerstone for the paleoclimate community. From geological eras to the last ...[Read More]

Destruction of the North China Craton and its global impact

Destruction of the North China Craton and its global impact

Cratons are forever, until they are not. These long-lived portions of lithosphere are known for being remarkably stable. However, if the conditions are right, even cratons can be ripped apart by geological forces, with far-reaching impacts on Earth’s systems. This week, Jyotirmoy Paul from the University of Oslo, Norway will tell us the downfall of the North China Craton, using numerical sim ...[Read More]

Three reasons why you should consider preprinting your research

Three reasons why you should consider preprinting your research

Preprints are scientific manuscripts posted online before or in parallel with submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Although the term ‘preprint’ may sound like it is just a preliminary version of a document that will eventually be published in an academic journal, this is not always the case. Not all preprints are intended for formal peer review, and some remain at the preprint stage indefinitely ...[Read More]
