Imaggeo Photo Competition
The sixth annual EGU photo competition opens on 1 February. Up until 1 March, every participant pre-registered for the General Assembly can submit up three original photos and one moving image on any broad theme related to the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. This year, in line with the theme of the EGU 2015 General Assembly, we particularly encourage submissions representing A Voyage Through Scales. [ Read more ]
Connecting Earth scientists and school students: apply to take part in I’m a Geoscientist!
I’m a Geoscientist is a two-week-long science engagement event that takes place online. It aims to change students’ attitudes to the geosciences, and make them feel it’s something they can relate to and discuss in a rapidly changing world. For scientists, this is a unique opportunity to get involved with some public engagement from the comfort of your own home or lab computer, in your own time. The registration deadline for the next event, which is taking place on 9–20 March, is 6 February. [ Read more ]

A reduced-complexity model for river delta formation – Part 1: Modeling deltas with channel dynamics
In this work we present DeltaRCM, a reduced-complexity model for river delta formation. It is a rule-based cellular morphodynamic model, in contrast to reductionist models based on detailed computational fluid dynamics. DeltaRCM is able to resolve channel dynamics, and to produce stratigraphy. We also explain the meaning of complexity reduction, especially what are the essential processes to be included in modeling deltas. [ Read more ]
Three-dimensional morphology of equatorial plasma bubbles deduced from measurements onboard CHAMP
Total electron content (TEC) between Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellites and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites can be used to constrain three-dimensional morphology of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs). TEC gradient observed along the LEO track is strongest when the corresponding GNSS satellite is located equatorward and westward of the LEO satellite. This anisotropy supports the idea that EPBs have three-dimensional shell structures. [ Read more ]
The fate of seeds in the soil: a review of the influence of overland flow on seed removal and its consequences for the vegetation of arid and semiarid patchy ecosystems
Since seeds are the principle means by which plants move across the landscape, the final fate of seeds plays a fundamental role in the origin, maintenance, functioning and dynamics of plant communities. In arid and semiarid patchy ecosystems, where seeds are scattered into a heterogeneous environment and intense rainfalls occur, the transport of seeds by runoff to new sites represents an opportunity for seeds to reach more favourable sites for seed germination and seedling survival.

EGU Facts
The non-profit European Geosciences Union (EGU) is Europe's premier union of geoscientists. It has a General Assembly that attracts over 12,000 scientists each year, a diverse portfolio of open access journals, a number of thematic meetings, and outreach and education activities. It also honours scientists with a number of awards and medals.
