Europe’s biggest geoscience conference, EGU26, is just over one month away! Each year, the EGU General Assembly brings together over 19,000 researchers, scientists, academics and journalists to discuss and share the latest developments in planetary exploration, Earth observation, polar science, climate change, natural hazards, and much more. And it is held at the Austria Centre Vienna (ACV) which ...[Read More]
Hello Christina! Welcome to GeoTalk. Before we dive in, could you introduce yourself to our readers? Hey everyone! I’m a researcher at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) in Montpellier in the South of France. For my work, I specialise in remote sensing and hydrological modelling, with study areas in Cambodia, Tunisia, and France. At EGU, I’m also the outgoing Early Career Scient ...[Read More]
Earthquakes remain among the most disruptive natural hazards worldwide, capable of causing sudden loss of life, severe economic damage, and long-lasting societal impacts. One of the most effective tools developed in recent decades to mitigate these effects is Earthquake Early Warning (EEW), a real-time monitoring strategy that exploits a fundamental physical property of earthquakes: seismic waves ...[Read More]
At EGU, we’re always looking for new ways to celebrate and amplify the voices of our community. For our second edition of the top Geolog post of the year in 2025, we selected the top five performing blog posts and held an internal vote within the EGU Executive Office to select the winner. We are now excited to announce that the award for the best blog of 2025 goes to (drumroll …) CJ Rajendra ...[Read More]
In episode 8 of the Hydrotalks podcast, we hosted four coordinators of working groups of the HELPING hydrological decade. We warmly welcomed Dr. Giulio Castelli (University of Florence) and Dr. Natalie Ceperley (University of Bern), group co-leaders of Co-Creating Water Knowledge working group; Dr. Soham Adla (ING Bank, Netherlands), a coordinator of Science communication, outreach, and promoting ...[Read More]
It is not every day you get to celebrate a silver jubilee in the world of digital publishing, but this year, the European Geosciences Union is doing exactly that. Twenty-five years ago, back when most of us were still navigating dial-up internet, EGU was already flipping the script on the black box of scientific publishing. By launching the first interactive open-access journal, they moved the sci ...[Read More]
Seismic waves tell us that something unusual is happening in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of Earth’s mantle. Beneath Africa and the Pacific lie two enormous thermochemical structures known as Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs). These “large blobs” are slower to transmit shear waves, but beyond that, their physical nature remains one of the biggest open questions in deep Earth geod ...[Read More]
We are excited to announce the 17th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in March. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Hugo Lecomte and Marius Schlaak. Below, you can find the details of the topics awaiting us. We will have time to network after the ...[Read More]
Like many glaciologists (in the broad sense – as in, cryospheric researchers, not just those who study glaciers!), my professional “home” has been the International Glaciological Society (IGS) ever since grad school; My first conference was an IGS branch meeting, I found my postdoc by networking at an IGS symposium, I have published work in IGS journals, and IGS has supported many community activi ...[Read More]
Since 2022, the annual FrenSZ workshop has been bringing together a vibrant and interdisciplinary community around subduction zones in France. In this week’s blog post, we dive into how FrenSZ is organized, highlight its scientific outcomes and how it is opening new connections on the international stage. A large French community. In France, a fairly large community of Earth Scientists devote thei ...[Read More]
