  • Imaggeo On Monday: Pot of Gold: Ngorongoro Crater
    by Jack Park on June 5, 2023 at 10:45 am

    A double rainbow beams into the Ngorongoro Crater after rainfall as a couple of African buffalos graze within this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The largest intact caldera in the world, it extends 20 kilometres in diameter and is home to the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and African buffalo) – a true pot of gold.   Photo and caption by […]

  • Why single solution strategies cannot solve the plastic pollution problem
    by Gillian D'Souza on June 2, 2023 at 10:45 am

    It appears that plastics have well and truly invaded even our most inaccessible environments: the deepest point in the ocean (the Mariana trench) and the highest mountain peak in the world (Mt. Everest) both contain pieces of plastic from human activities miles away. With plastic waste flowing into aquatic ecosystems expected to nearly triple by […]

  • GeoPolicy: Your summer time Science for Policy reading guide
    by Chloe Hill on May 31, 2023 at 10:55 am

    With summer just around the corner, you might be starting to think about some of the ways in which you’d like to relax during upcoming holidays or field work! It’s incredibly important for us all to be able to switch off from our work life. Not only does it allow us to mentally and physically recover, but it can also provide us with new […]

  • GeoRoundup: the highlights of EGU Journals published during May!
    by Hazel Gibson on May 31, 2023 at 9:00 am

    Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights roundup. For May as we reflect on the General Assembly we are not highlighting any specific Division, so this month our GeoRoundup Journals will be alphabetical!   All […]

  • Meet the EGU Education Committee!
    by Simon Clark on May 26, 2023 at 10:45 am

    The EGU’s Education Committee (EC) helps to bring science to educators, from higher education funding grants and coordinating training programmes to bringing teachers to Vienna to participate in the annual GIFT (Geoscience Information For Teachers) workshop and meet with scientists at the EGU General Assembly. In this article, six of the […]

  • GeoTalk: meet David Fernández-Blanco, your new Union-level Early Career Scientist Representative!
    by Simon Clark on May 24, 2023 at 10:45 am

    Hello David. Thank you for agreeing to this interview! To break ground, could you tell our readers about yourself and your career background? Hi Simon. It’s my pleasure, thank you for inviting me. Well, I’m a Spanish “tectonicist” and I’ve been lucky to work in great institutions all over Europe; Amsterdam, Paris, Zürich, London, and […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Vanished glaciers of the past
    by Petronela Ševčíková on May 22, 2023 at 10:45 am

    No glaciers remained in the High Tatras since the last glaciation, but beautiful glacially carved landscapes and a multitude of small glacial lakes. This one, Zamrznuté pleso (2045 a.s.l.) is at one of the beautiful hike trails in the eastern part of the Tatras, the path through Poľský hrebeň and to the summit Východná Vysoká (2429 a.s.l.). […]

  • Support inclusive geosciences by taking this workplace survey today!
    by Gillian D'Souza on May 19, 2023 at 10:45 am

    By Andrea L. Popp, Anouk Beniest, Anita Di Chiara, Derya Gürer, Elenora van Rijsingen, Mengze Li and Simone Pieber. The geoscience community has long been recognized as one of the least diverse scientific fields. However, the extent to which this homogeneity affects workplace climate, particularly for under-represented groups, remains unclear […]

  • Seaweed: an unlikely but promising food solution in nuclear winter?
    by Gillian D'Souza on May 17, 2023 at 10:45 am

    A few weeks ago, at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly EGU23, a group of researchers from different disciplines briefed the media about the impact of war on the oceans, sands, and people. Among them, Florian Ulrich Jehn’s presentation stood out for its rather unlikely proposition: that seaweed appeared to be a promising candidate as […]

  • Imaggeo On Monday: Landmannalaugar – Iceland’s geoscience wonder
    by Glenn Strypsteen on May 15, 2023 at 10:45 am

    Landmannalaugar is a unique and beautiful area in Iceland, nestled in the highlands of the country. It is known for its stunning scenery, including green-covered mountains, vast lava fields, and natural hot springs. This area served as the end destination of my hiking adventure where I crossed Iceland from north to south, and it’s easy to see […]
