  • GeoPolicy: Communicating A Global Climate Crisis – your questions answered!
    by Chloe Hill on August 7, 2020 at 10:45 am

    A wide variety of webinar sessions were streamed during EGU 2020’s Sharing Geoscience Online, including all of the Great Debates and Union Symposia. The sessions were very well attended, with some sessions having over 700 participants. An extremely high level of engagement meant that in many cases not all of the participants’ questions […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Carbon-sink
    by Hazel Gibson on August 3, 2020 at 10:45 am

    Biochar is a carbon rich product of biomass pyrolysis, a process where biological material is exposed to high temperatures, in the absence of oxygen, to cause the decomposition of that material into various chemical and physical components. By going through this process, biochar can be a valuable soil additive and a carbon sink with a high […]

  • Marie Tharp: an inspiration for the past, present and future!
    by Hazel Gibson on July 30, 2020 at 9:45 am

    Today marks the centennial of the birth of Marie Tharp, the person responsible for creating the first map of our planet’s ocean floors. Though her work was underappreciated at the time of its publication – mainly because she faced many significant barriers due to her gender – her maps ended up being instrumental evidence in […]

  • GeoRoundup: the highlights of EGU Journals published during July!
    by Hazel Gibson on July 29, 2020 at 10:55 am

    Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we will be putting the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights roundup. For July, the Divisions we are featuring are: Geodesy (G), Ocean Science (OS) and Tectonics and Structural Geology (TS). They are served by the journals: […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Sunset in the Arabian basin
    by Margot Courtillat on July 27, 2020 at 10:55 am

    We know the topography of the moon better than the Earth’s seafloor, so we need to keep studying the ocean, and, for me, going to sea is the best way.   Only twenty percent of the seafloor is already mapped (see the Seabed 2030 Project), leaving eighty percent of our ocean unmapped, unobserved, and unexplored. This is why ocean going […]

  • GeoTalk: Hali Felt, author of ‘Soundings: The Story of the Remarkable Woman Who Mapped the Ocean Floor’
    by Hazel Gibson on July 24, 2020 at 10:55 am

    This month for GeoTalk, as we approach the centennial of Marie Tharp’s birth next week, we were lucky enough to speak with the author of her biography ‘Soundings: The Story of the Remarkable Woman Who Mapped the Ocean Floor‘; Hali Felt. Hali has a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa and has completed […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Watercolors- Nature’s talent
    by Diana Bejan on July 20, 2020 at 10:45 am

    The photo was taken from the International Space Station (ISS), approx. 400 km above the Earth, in the educational project administered by NASA: Sally Ride EarthKAM, Mission 59, November 2017. The image was requested by a team of students from my college, coordinated by me. Even though we weren’t there, on ISS, to trigger the camera, all the […]

  • The benefits of online writing retreats in these weird times
    by Mathew Stiller-Reeve on July 17, 2020 at 10:50 am

    The world shut down due to COVID-19, but PhDs did not. During these unfamiliar times, most PhD students have found themselves working from home trying more than ever to write as much as possible.  Over the past few of months, I have led several online writing retreats in collaboration with doctoral research schools and universities in Norway. […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Under the sea, in the deep, where fire meets water and life emerges III
    by Hazel Gibson on July 13, 2020 at 10:55 am

    650 metres below the chilly waves of the North Atlantic Arctic Ocean, equidistant between Norway, Iceland and Greenland, are the Jan Mayen Vent Fields. Home to a series of hydrothermal vents strung along a set of normal faults and fissures that run parallel to the seafloor ridge, this is a strange and fascinating place. Hydrothermal vents are […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Geoscientific selfie at the Dead Sea
    by Djamil Al-Halbouni on July 6, 2020 at 10:55 am

    This is an aerial image taken from a balloon at around 150m height, at the eastern shoreline of the Dead Sea. Such “selfies” are scientifically valuable, providing important data that help researchers to analyze the morphology of the retreating lake and investigate associated hazards like sinkholes, subsidence and landslides. The older […]
