Press Release: Famous paintings help study the Earth’s past atmosphere
A team of Greek and German researchers has shown that the colours of sunsets painted by famous artists can be used to estimate pollution levels in the Earth’s past atmosphere. The results are published today in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. [ Read more ]

Little Ice Age climate reconstruction from ensemble reanalysis of Alpine glacier fluctuations
Here the author analyses terminus position histories from an ensemble of seven glaciers in the Alps with a macroscopic model of glacier dynamics to derive a history of glacier equilibrium line altitude for the time span 400–2010 C.E. [ Read more ]
Earthquake-induced ground failures in Italy from a reviewed database
A database of earthquake-induced ground failures in Italy is presented, and the related content is analysed. The catalogue collects data regarding landslides, liquefaction, ground cracks, surface faulting and ground changes triggered by earthquakes of Mercalli epicentral intensity 8 or greater that occurred in the last millennium in Italy.

Fracture-induced softening for large-scale ice dynamics
To account for the macroscopic effect of fracture processes on large-scale viscous ice dynamics (i.e., ice-shelf scale), the authors apply a continuum representation of fractures and related fracture growth into the prognostic Parallel Ice Sheet Model and compare the results to observations.

Regional and inter-regional effects in evolving climate networks
In this study we identify the sources of the evolving network characteristics by considering a reduced-dimensionality description of the climate system using network nodes given by rotated principal component analysis. The time evolution of structures in local intra-component networks is studied and compared to evolving inter-component connectivity. [ Read more ]

EGU Facts
The non-profit European Geosciences Union (EGU) is Europe's premier union of geoscientists. It has a General Assembly that attracts over 11,000 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.
