Hold my Baby: Improving Institutional Policies of Parenting and Field-based Research

We are researchers. Researchers are people. People sometimes have children. These are three simple statements (and fundamental truths) that are often overlooked by institutional and funding policies, leading to a disconnect between the demands of research and the responsibilities of parenthood. Especially in field-based research, which is typical in the geosciences, rigorous expectations of long h ...[Read More]

20 Years of GM [Part 2]: A conversation on change and progress with Geomorphology’s first and current presidents 

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the EGU Geomorphology Division (GM). Many of us have found community, experienced our first conference presentation, and furthered our careers through GM. GM has grown to be mid-sized for EGU standards with ~700 abstracts submitted in 2024 – but we had to start somewhere. I spoke with GM’s creator and first president, Colin Stark (National Taiwan University) ...[Read More]

Sparking scientific curiosity in Arctic Students: How they’re tackling big questions

Growing up, I didn’t know what it meant to “do research”. I did some research projects in high school, but research as a field path was totally foreign to me until I started university. Unlike me, the young students who participated in this year’s Arctic Frontiers Science for Schools program were given a first-hand glimpse into what it means to conduct professional research. The Science for School ...[Read More]
