Connecting worlds of influences? Between art and education at EGU26
Talking to people about their work is always an EGU highlight for me.

However, while those topics are the things of dreams for me (and I dare to say many other EGU-goers), that enthusiasm isn’t always a given once we leave the confer ...[Read More]

ESA’s Green Meridian Information Factory: Why not to miss the workshop this Friday at EGU26
As we immerse ourselves in our 20th Viennese General Assembly EGU26, the volume of climate models and atmospheric projections can be quite overwhelming, to say the least. While our EGU geoscientific community is excellent at observing the planet, a persistent challenge remains in communicating that massive planetary data into tools that a local council, a commercial farmer, or an urban planner can ...[Read More]

Publish or perish? Or is publishing perishing? Reflections from a Great Debate at EGU26
There’s a particular kind of energy you get in a conference room when something is about to matter. You can feel it before anything starts: chairs filling quickly, people sitting closer than usual, no polite gaps left between strangers.
