A geoscience reality check on World Biofuels Day
On a humid morning in Augsburg, Germany, on August 10, 1893, a ten-foot iron cylinder roared to life for the first time. The engine belonged to Sir Rudolf Diesel, and running through its veins was not the petroleum distillate we associate with his name today, but in fact, peanut oil! Diesel’s early experiment proved something revolutionary for the late Industrial Revolution: the engines driving hu ...[Read More]

Today’s journeys may no longer cross the Mediterranean, but they continue to test researchers’ resilience in unexpected ways. Not because researchers sail across unknown seas, but because the pur ...[Read More]

My First EGU Experience: EGU26
The journey to my first EGU General Assembly (GA) 2026 (EGU26) was memorable even before the conference began. What should have been a straightforward train ride to Vienna turned into an unexpected adventure when we were asked to get off at a small station and wait several hours for alternative transport. Surrounded by travellers, luggage, and a fair amount of confusion, it felt as though the EGU2 ...[Read More]
