GeoCinema Online: Space & Planetary Science

If you were at our General Assembly, you probably spotted GeoCinema, or took a moment to catch your breath between sessions and relax with a geological film. But with all the science to be heard and discussions to join, watching the full programme would have been impossible. How do we get around this? By bringing GeoCinema straight to your living room! Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing a de ...[Read More]

Imaggeo on Mondays: Sunset on the Black Sea coast

In the context of human history, few bodies of water are as storied as the Black Sea, located at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Countless cargo ships and frigates have sailed its waters, over 1,100 km in length from east to west, daunting enough that the Ancient Greeks believed its eastern shores (now Georgia) marked the edge of the known world. However, perhaps the Black Sea’s ...[Read More]

How interviews of famous geologists can help you learn more about geosciences

Today’s guest post comes from Daniel Minisini, a geologist with a passion for filming and philosophy who created a resource for the geosciences community called minigeology.com. In this post, he tells us a bit more about the website, and the inspiration behind the interviews he conducts and posts online. Hi! I am Daniel, a sedimentologist and stratigrapher trained as a marine geologist by my ...[Read More]

Climate: Past, Present & Future

The rabbit and the tortoise – what does a glacial cycle need to be a glacial cycle?

The rabbit and the tortoise – what does a glacial cycle need to be a glacial cycle?

The climate is not what it used to be and it will never be the same again. This is what the models say. Where does this knowledge come from? In short, we learn it from the clues that nature left on the planet since its formation. And it is precisely with these observations where our story begins. Since the beginnings of mountaineering, many visitors of the Alps and other mountain ranges have wonde ...[Read More]

“Are you aug?” A strategic foresight into human enhancement, climate adaptation, and access disparities

“Are you aug?” A strategic foresight into human enhancement, climate adaptation, and access disparities

The Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) placed human augmentation on a 5–10 year timeline, identifying it as a key area where technological advancement could soon reshape societies. Their GESDA radar platform tracks over 500 emerging science breakthroughs including enhanced cognition, programmable biology, and climate-resilient bioengineering. The foresight is clear: we are entering a ...[Read More]

AI: the good, the bad, and the forgotten

AI: the good, the bad, and the forgotten

AI is here, and when I say here, I mean e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. For all you know, this blog may have been written by an algorithm (it wasn’t — I’m not a robot, promise. Or am I?). In what feels like the blink of an eye, AI has gone from a curiosity to a fully-fledged co-pilot in science (and out of science). It’s generating satellite imagery, helping compute paleo-climate predictions, or writing your ...[Read More]
