Sharing our appreciation and gratitude with the more than 12,000 volunteers and members who generously donated their time to EGU in 2025!
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.
Núria Altimir, a data visualization and data portrait artist, and Fabian Wadsworth, a mixed media visual artist and poet, have been selected for a residency at the next European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 3 – 8 May 2026.
The EGU has this week launched a new publication, Earth Observation, an open-access, two-stage journal with open and public peer review, following the model of other EGU journals, published by Copernicus Publications.
Soil degradation has become a major environmental concern. Today, 62% of European soils are affected by at least one degradation process, largely driven by land sealing and unsustainable farming practices (Mason et al. 2023; EUSO 2024). Conservation Agriculture (CA) is often promoted as a promising alternative, combining sustainable production with improved soil quality (Chabert et Sarthou 2020; Thierfelder et al. 2017). CA is built on three pillars: minimizing mechanical soil disturbance, maximizing soil organic cover, and diversifying crop species. Together, …
Seismic waves tell us that something unusual is happening in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of Earth’s mantle. Beneath Africa and the Pacific lie two enormous thermochemical structures known as Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs). These “large blobs” are slower to transmit shear waves, but beyond that, their physical nature remains one of the biggest open questions in deep Earth geodynamics. In this week’s blog, Poulami Roy, postdoc at Durham University (UK), takes us through how these LLSVPs can be numerically …
We are excited to announce the 17th edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in February. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Hugo Lecomte and Marius Schlaak. Below, you can find the details of the topics awaiting us. We will have time to network after the presentations. Please join us on Zoom on 19th March 2026 from …
