Sharing our appreciation and gratitude with the more than 12,000 volunteers and members who generously donated their time to EGU in 2025!
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is seeking to appoint an Executive Assistant to support the EGU Executive Director. Applications will be assessed from 12:00 CET on the 23 March.
The EGU will provide funding to support the organisation of 24 geoscience conferences and training schools run by EGU members in 2026. These events are proposed by EGU members from all career stages, and will be hosted in locations all over the world.
Most people spend a lot of time and effort making their presentation engaging and impactful, but how much time do you spend making sure it is accessible!? An accessible presentation takes into account the diverse backgrounds and abilities of the audience, to support a better understanding of the message and information you are trying to share. This is particularly important for scientific research, where presenters need to be confident that their research is being communicated in a manner that is …
Climate change is having a profound impact on the planet. According to several reports, 2023 was the warmest year on record, with the global average temperature over the 12-month period from February 2023 to January 2024 exceeding the 1.5 °C threshold above pre-industrial levels. Climate change acts as a risk multiplier, as its impacts transcend national borders and amplify existing threats and crises. Climate-related hazards can trigger cascading and systemic disruptions across interconnected systems, affecting entire societies and disproportionately impacting …
A robust estimation of probabilities of extreme floods is the Holy Grail in flood hydrology in view of limited available observations, variability of climate, and complexity of flood generation processes in catchments. Flood frequency hydrology, spearheaded in the past decades by Ralf Merz and Günter Blöschl, offers a powerful toolbox to enhance the reliability of flood probability estimates by considering past historical floods (temporal information expansion), learning from similar neighbouring catchments that have longer observational records (spatial information expansion), and …
