Pride month in the era of DEI rollbacks: Reflections on resilience, and why pride was a riot after all

Pride month in the era of DEI rollbacks: Reflections on resilience, and why pride was a riot after all

Pride month arrives this year against a backdrop of institutional irony. In the United States, federal research funding has been thoroughly weaponised and forced a massive scientific brain drain across the Atlantic. In Europe, a multi-million-euro effort to capture that exiled talent is underway, even as Europe’s own domestic politics fracture along the exact same ideological fault lines. Fo ...[Read More]

Reclaiming scientific publishing: Our duty to make science freely accessible to all

Editor’s note: While this article explores the benefits of Diamond Open Access and critiques commercial, for-profit publishing structures, it is important to note that the European Geosciences Union (EGU) operates on a community-led, transparent, and not-for-profit Open Access model. EGU journals use Article Processing Charges (APCs) strictly to cover publishing costs and support the scientific co ...[Read More]

Observational constraints help narrowing down uncertainty on the future of the AMOC

May 20, 2026

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation — the AMOC — has become one of the most discussed elements of the climate system. It is often portrayed as a looming tipping point, a potential disruptor of European climate, and a symbol of the uncertainties that still surround climate projections. We spoke with Didier Swingedouw, a leading researcher in ocean–climate interactions from the CNRS and ...[Read More]

“You belong here”: reflections on gender inequality in Academia

Academia is often imagined as a space driven by merit, curiosity, and scientific collaboration. Still behind publications, conferences, and research achievements, many women in STEM continue to navigate environments shaped by subtle exclusion, normalized inequalities, and power imbalances that are not always openly discussed. In Earth Sciences, where collaboration and field-based research are fund ...[Read More]

Dialogues between glaciers and humans

against a blue, muted sky a saxophone layer in a beanie plays a song

At the edge of the world, a voice tries to make itself heard, a whisper slipping between the threads of an unstable reality. In the remote lands of Svalbard, a few hundred miles from the North Pole, lie millennia-old entities, relics of a disappearing species. They murmur in a language that humans today no longer know how to decipher. And yet, it is in this deafness to the voices around them that ...[Read More]

Destruction of North China Craton: through the chronotunnel of time

Destruction of North China Craton: through the chronotunnel of time

The Asian continent has fascinated the world for at least 3,000 years with its music, food, and discoveries, as well as its breathtaking landscapes. Most of these incredible landscapes are formed by mountains that can be considered geologically “recent” (such as the Cenozoic formation of the Himalayas). However, there are also ancient terrains, pre-dating the Mesozoic, that pose intrig ...[Read More]
