Do you have experience with mentoring, networking or career development initiatives? The EGU Outreach Committee is seeking a consultant to assist with the development and delivery of an online mentoring programme for our members, which will run in 2027. Submit your proposal by Friday 16 October 2026.
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is excited to announce this year’s Science Journalism Fellowship awardees: Sophie Fessl, Rebecca Wolfer, and Antonio Alonso Rodríguez.
Are you an EGU member who wants to sharpen your mentorship skills - either as a novice seeking support or an experienced participant looking to provide it? Why not register to take part in our free mentoring training session, organised by the EGU Outreach Committee, to be held on Wednesday 28 October.
EGU’s Outreach Committee, which focuses on public engagement activities, communication between scientists and students, and supporting the training and development of budding science communicators, is searching for three new members to help further its programme. Send in your applications by 28 September 2026.
Why do storybook donkeys know about earthquakes? Discover a new show premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August exploring seismology and science through storytelling and song, funded by the EGU Special Activity Fund and with support from the University of Edinburgh School of GeoSciences.
Hello Luigi! Thank you for agreeing to this GeoTalk interview. Could you briefly introduce yourself and your background to our readers? Hi Simon and the EGU community! I’m a postdoc researcher in applied geophysics at the University of Naples Federico II. My research focuses on developing advanced potential field modelling and inversion techniques to image the subsurface. These methods impact a very wide range of real-world needs, such as exploring natural resources, environmental studies, managing natural hazards, and even detecting …
What if we brought all four major space-geodetic techniques together on a single spacecraft for the first time? ESA’s Genesis mission, expected to launch in 2028, will do just that, combining Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), DORIS and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) on one carefully calibrated platform. Well before launch, scientists are investigating how this unprecedented configuration could strengthen the terrestrial reference frame and improve our understanding of the changing Earth. Why Genesis is more …
The Canary Islands are often shown as a group of small dots in the vast Atlantic Ocean. However, across only a few tens of kilometres, their surrounding waters can shift from sheltered coastal bays and energetic inter-island channels to the open subtropical ocean. This strong environmental contrast makes the archipelago an ideal natural laboratory for observing how the ocean varies and responds to a changing climate. At the same time, the islands are home to communities whose lives and livelihoods …
