The International SeaKeepers Society Powers NOAA’s Groundbreaking Ocean Mapping Breakthrough for Seabed 2030

Ivonne Gamboa June 27, 2025

In a bold leap toward mapping Earth’s final frontier, the seafloor, The International SeaKeepers Society (SeaKeepers), a global non-profit organisation, is proud to support a historic advancement in this effort. As part of the global Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project, SeaKeepers has been mobilising private yachts through its DISCOVERY Fleet since 2021 to collect vital …[Read More]

Bits and Bites of Geodesy – From Wobble to Wander: Tracking Earth’s Shifting Rotation Axis

Marius Schlaak June 27, 2025

When we think of Earth’s rotation, it is tempting to imagine a perfectly smooth spin. But in reality, Earth’s rotation is irregular and dynamic, and is influenced by forces inside and outside of our planet. To describe the changing orientation of the Earth in space over time Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) are measured with fundamental …[Read More]

Cryosphere Caps: PhD hats and the researchers that wear them – Episode 4

Mack Baysinger June 27, 2025

This miniseries features the tradition of ‘PhD hat’ making in German research institutes and universities. For those of you unfamiliar with this idea (as I once was), this is one of the final milestones a graduate student has before they are officially a “Dr.”. Upon the successful defense of a thesis, the labmates of the …[Read More]

On finding my water temperature community

Maria H. Grundmann June 26, 2025

Walking the halls of the EGU General Assembly 2025 a few weeks ago, I was full of child-like curiosity. Being surrounded by people doing fascinating, creative, and innovative research felt like a dream come true. New faces every day, big talks on small advances and complicated methodologies. I learned about mountain ecology and failing snow-models, …[Read More]

Trans masculinities, embodied geographies and the River Neath

CJ Wagstaff June 25, 2025

How do our environments shape who we are? How do we shape them? Most people have a place (or places) that they know or love so deeply it feels inextricable from themselves. A place they keep coming back to over time, maybe even after years of resisting it. For me, it’s the River Neath in …[Read More]

Can seabed mapping help restore our blue planet?

Asmae Ourkiya June 20, 2025

Some humans are racing to map the moon, Mars, and the stars, yet the very ground beneath our oceans remains largely unknown. What does it say about us, that we can chart the craters of distant planets before we bother to understand the seafloor that feeds us, cools us, and regulates our climate? In an …[Read More]

EGU NP Paper of the Month “Finite-size local dimension as a tool for extracting geometrical properties of attractors of dynamical systems”

Martin Bonte June 19, 2025

The original goal of this study was to understand how the local dimension of the attractor of a dynamical system could be used to estimate the predictability of the future state of the system, and apply this in the case of radar images of rain. The local dimension using Extreme Value Theory (EVT) has been …[Read More]

Surf’s up and so are marine heatwaves! How AI is forewarning the Mediterranean’s ocean sizzle

Asmae Ourkiya June 18, 2025

Imagine you’re standing on a rocky Mediterranean shore, early morning sun warming the air, the sea is calm and glassy. But away from sight and beneath that serene surface, there is a silent storm brewing. Marine heatwaves are sweeping across the basin, warming the water in ways that disrupt ecosystems, hit fisheries, and threaten everything …[Read More]

About

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) blogs host the official blog of the EGU, GeoLog, as well as a network of blogs in the Earth, planetary and space sciences aimed at fostering a diverse community of geoscientist bloggers. In this site you will also find a selection of blogs from the EGU scientific divisions, which share division-specific news, events, and activities, as well as updates on the latest research in their field. The EGU blogs offer a place for bloggers to interact with each other and with the wider geoscientific community.
