  • A message from EGU President Alberto Montanari on what geoscientists can do to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19
    by Alberto Montanari on March 25, 2020 at 10:50 am

    What can the Earth, planetary and space sciences do to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19? While I am considering this challenging question, I am looking out of the window of my home in Italy, in Reggio Emilia. I am close to the epidemic center of the Italian outbreak of COVID-19. I have been at home for the last two weeks without going out, […]
