  • Imaggeo On Monday: Catching a glimpse of the Mesosphere
    by Michiel Baatsen on January 25, 2021 at 11:45 am

    In the midst of summer when the sun does not set at high latitudes one can sometimes catch a glimpse of the mesosphere shortly after sunset or before sunrise. These thin veils, known as noctilucent clouds, are the highest known cloud-like structures forming at about 80km above the surface. At this height, they are still lit by the sun and can be […]

  • Cyclone Idai disaster: European agencies foresee climate danger but poor countries stumble.
    by Hazel Gibson on January 22, 2021 at 11:45 am

    Cyclone Idai, which was labelled by the UN as possibly the worst climate calamity to ever hit the Southern Hemisphere, pounded Beira, Mozambique, in March 2019. The European Space Agency images revealed that a huge new inland ´lake´ measuring about 80 miles by 15 miles, an area the size of the European state of Luxembourg, had suddenly […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: “Smoking” peaks of the Patagonian batholith
    by Christoph Mayr on January 18, 2021 at 11:45 am

    The indigenous name of the 3405 meter high Fitz Roy mountain in Patagonia, on the border between Argentina and Chile, is frequently translated as “smoking mountain”. This photo may visually explain an origin of this name. On the day the photo was taken, vortices downwind of the peak drew warmer, humid air from below, forming banner […]

  • GeoPolicy: EGU science for policy: what’s coming up in 2021?

  • Accessibility at EGU: Promoting inclusive language, an incomplete guide – PART 2!
    by Hazel Gibson on January 13, 2021 at 11:45 am

    Like all people, geoscientists can sometimes forget the importance of language. How scientists use language is important because it not only allows us to communicate effectively with different groups, from policymakers to concerned citizens and other researchers, but it can also influence how people respond on an emotional or personal level.  […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: The sudden stratospheric warming on February 12, 2018
    by Daniela Domeisen on January 11, 2021 at 11:45 am

    The image captures an atmospheric extreme event, a so-called sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) that occurred on Feb. 12, 2018. It is visualized through potential vorticity above the North Pole at the 10hPa level (~30km) above the Earth’s surface and consists of a split of the winter polar vortex into two separate vortices that interact with […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Revealing the secrets of the Arctic sky
    by Konstantina Nakoudi on January 4, 2021 at 11:45 am

    When it is dark over Ny Ålesund, Svalbard, a bright green laser beam can be seen quite often, shooting from the AWIPEV Arctic Research Base observatory towards the sky. This beam belongs to “KARLi” the Koldewey Aerosol Raman Lidar, run by the Alfred Wegener Institute for more than 25 years, which contributes to long-term, […]
