Women of Cryo V: Women and Glaciers in the Chilean Andes (Part I)

Women of Cryo V: Women and Glaciers in the Chilean Andes (Part I)

Women make up 50.8% of the worlds population, yet fewer than 30% of the world’s researchers are women. Of this percentage, BAME (Black Asia and Minority Ethnic) comprise around 5%, with less than 1% represented in geoscience faculty positions. The divide between women in the population and women in STEM needs to be addressed. Through a series of blog posts we hope to raise the voice of women in th ...[Read More]

The importance of our SSS (…Soil Support Staff!) #9

As we edge ever closer to the end of the year, here at EGU SSS, we are busy preparing for another excellent exhibition of soil science at next year’s EGU General Assembly. (Don’t forget to submit your abstracts by 12th January 2022). Of course, very little soils research could take place without the work carried out by technicians, laboratory assistants, and research support staff. Thi ...[Read More]

Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return – palaeoclimatological implications of provenance studies of Southeast European loess deposits

Previous blog posts have highlighted the importance of loess as an indicator of climate and environmental changes in the past. These posts showed the relevance of loess deposits as  archives of Pleistocene climates and environments, the importance of using novel approaches in mapping these and other Quaternary-related sediments,  the aspects of dating loess deposits, as well as the peculiarities o ...[Read More]

The Sassy Scientist – Impatient Or Too Late?

Hilde has been ever so occupied with her research, especially finishing a manuscript for the first time. Submitting that paper was supposed to be some sort of closure, and mental solace, yet somehow there seems to be a predilection for progressive diffidence: When has enough time passed to send a reminder/enquiry to an editor if the paper is in the ‘decision with editor’-stage? Dear Hilde, DonR ...[Read More]

Sliding across the Solar System – The missing origins of gigantic landslides

Landslides can be impressively huge and fast and can occur on all sorts of places including asteroids, rocky moons and Mars! Giulia Magnarini Post Doctoral Researcher at the Natural History Museum in London writes all about these gigantic landslides and the clues they could hold into the martian past! Gigantic landslides are ubiquitous in our solar system. Indeed, Earth, Mars, Mercury, Venus, aste ...[Read More]

From the eyes of tropical cyclones to flooded strands : how climatologists use weather events to make climate predictions?

From the eyes of tropical cyclones to flooded strands : how climatologists use weather events to make climate predictions?

While extreme events are meteorological in nature, climatologists collect them to draw conclusions about the state of the present climate and to get clues how they possibly change in the future. Thus, climate and weather find common ground. If we consider an event alone, we are not studying the climate, we are in the field of meteorology, the goal of climatologists is therefore to put extreme even ...[Read More]
