International Day of Women and Girls in Science: Reflections from seismologist Simona Gabrielli

International Day of Women and Girls in Science: Reflections from seismologist Simona Gabrielli

Hello you, and happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! My name is Simona Gabrielli, and I am a researcher at the INGV (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Italy), where I study seismic attenuation (in other words: how earthquakes lose energy while passing through rocks), to understand the presence of fractures and fluids. My specialization in recent years has been in tec ...[Read More]

Doing a PhD is a challenge in itself. Doing it in another country, away from family and friends, is even harder. Handling the requirements of academia while adjusting to a new culture, language, and way of life can be overwhelming at times. But, doing a PhD abroad is not defined by challenges alone. A new academic and social environment can lead to new friendships, fresh perspectives, and personal ...[Read More]

Soil Carbon, Resilience, and Modelling the Future: A Conversation with Katerina Georgiou

Soil Carbon, Resilience, and Modelling the Future: A Conversation with Katerina Georgiou

Soils play a central role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, with soil carbon management increasingly seen as a key pathway for enhancing ecosystem resilience—particularly in agricultural systems. At the same time, predicting how soil carbon responds to changing climate and management remains one of the major challenges in soil system science. In this interview, we speak with Katerina Ge ...[Read More]

Turbulence (and not only): The Legacy of Vincenzo Carbone, 2025 Richardson Medal

Turbulence (and not only): The Legacy of Vincenzo Carbone, 2025 Richardson Medal

One year ago, Vincenzo Carbone left us. Vincenzo was a leading scientist in nonlinear geophysics, turbulence, and complex systems, influencing fluid and plasma physics, weather and space weather, solar–terrestrial relations, and climate dynamics. Yet for those who worked closely with him, his legacy goes well beyond his remarkable scientific achievements. Scientific Contributions and Impact Over m ...[Read More]
