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.
Social media data are increasingly being analysed to support disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. A new comprehensive NHESS review examines how such data are being used in disaster management research.
Early Career Scientists (ECS) – defined as a student, a PhD candidate, or a practising scientist who received their highest certificate (e.g. BSc, MSc or PhD) within the past seven years – compose about half of EGU’s members. Many of the sessions and events throughout the Assembly are built with our ECS attendees in mind, from introducing you to the Assembly and the Union as a whole or the numerous ECS-orientated networking events and short courses. All provide opportunities for …
Extreme events are becoming increasingly observable, intense, and interconnected. Drought, traditionally viewed as a regional and temporary phenomenon, is now undergoing a fundamental shift. We introduce the concept of “Day Zero Drought” to describe a threshold where water demand exceeds available supply under persistent drought conditions. This study shows that water scarcity is no longer confined to isolated regions but is emerging as a synchronized global signal driven by the combined effects of climate change and human pressures. “Day Zero …
Traveling by land within Europe is relatively easy, and for me it’s also a conscious choice to push back against the fast pace of modern travel and the normalization of flying. I chose to drive a van instead of taking the train mainly because of my dog, and because finding pet-friendly accommodation during the high season was challenging. I’m visiting the Snow Hydrology research group in WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF to exchange expertise and explore how …
