  • Imaggeo on Mondays: Setting trees aflame to understand the carbon balance of fires
    by Stefan Doerr on December 9, 2019 at 12:01 pm

    Smoke clears after an experimental wildfire in Australian eucalyptus forest carried out for carbon balance estimations of wildfires. We meticulously measured the carbon in all leaves, twigs, logs and bark in a forest block about 35km east of Manjimup and then they set it on fire with help from the Dept. of Parks and Wildlife, [Western Australia].

  • The road to a greener General Assembly
    by Olivia Trani on December 4, 2019 at 2:01 pm

    Each spring thousands of geoscientists from more than 100 countries make their way to Vienna for the EGU General Assembly. Major conferences like this offer researchers many opportunities to advance their careers: from gaining research inspiration and learning new skills to sharing ideas and networking with peers. But participant travel to and […]

  • Imaggeo on Mondays: Mount Bromo – volcanic deity
    by Olivia Trani on December 2, 2019 at 1:56 pm

    Featured in this photo, rising out from a sea of violet fog at dawn, is one of Indonesia’s most iconic volcanoes, Mount Bromo. The mountain is a large volcanic crater, also known as a caldera, which formed when an ancient cone volcano collapsed in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene epochs, between 126,000 and 8,300 years ago. The […]

  • GeoPolicy: Communicate Geoscience? Let’s do it!

  • Imaggeo on Mondays: Great sand dunes and beyond
    by Meriel J. Bittner on November 18, 2019 at 2:43 pm

    Driving eastwards through the San Luis Valley in south central Colorado, United States, the Great Sand Dunes emerge at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Range in the northeast of the region’s upland plain. The origin story of these great dunes begins during a time of glacial melt, five to three million years ago, when the rivers of the […]
