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.
An isolated fjord at the edge of the Southern Patagonia Icefield. A small cluster of tents pitched beside Bernal Glacier. Fourteen days without roads, cell reception, or routine – only creaking ice fronts, restless wind, the constant murmur of meltwater, unrelenting rain, and a team of fellow adventurers as companions. The Patagonia Icefield Research Program (PIRP) is an immersive classroom where students and early-career researchers learn directly from the landscape and the glacier itself. This is our adventure diary from …
After a big success last year, GeoCinema is back for EGU26! As many of you know, doing science is very rarely just about the research, but also involves sharing that research in several forms and formats. For many talented researchers this means using films. Either working with a film-maker or creating something themselves, several of our EGU26 attendees submitted wonderful films this year, from science in the lab or fantastic spectacles in the field, to producing educational features on the …
The ocean surrounding Antarctica plays a crucial role in the climate system. Along parts of the Antarctic coast, very cold and salty water becomes dense enough to sink all the way to the ocean floor. This process forms Antarctic Bottom Water: the deepest water mass in the global ocean, representing about 40% of its total volume. As this dense water sinks into the abyss, it helps trap heat and carbon at depth and supplies oxygen to the deepest layers of …
