The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2024 Field Schools for Teachers and Geoscience Education Events awards. These awards, aimed at advancing education in Earth, planetary, and space sciences, offer financial support to initiatives that foster geoscience learning across different educational levels.
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is seeking two enthusiastic members to actively contribute to the promotion of EDI values within the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. If you’re motivated to drive equity, diversity, and inclusion, familiar with EGU’s mission, and ready to collaborate in a diverse team, we want to hear from you! This voluntary position has a two-year term (renewable). The deadline for applications is 10 October 2024.
Are you a researcher passionate about geoscience education and eager to make a broader impact? The EGU Education Committee is looking for four new members to join our dynamic team, helping to shape and promote innovative educational initiatives in Earth, planetary, and space sciences. If you have experience in collaboration, a strong interest in secondary or tertiary education, and a desire to support professional development for educators, we want to hear from you!
EGU would like to publicly refute the allegations published in an article in Science news online on 2 July 2024, regarding the dismissal of the Union’s former President and the purported events that occurred during the 2024 General Assembly. We will therefore provide further clarification on the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of former president Irina Artemieva and the measures undertaken to preserve the integrity and ethical standards of our organisation.
The EGU will support the organisation of 16 geoscience conferences and training schools run by EGU members in 2024.
Welcome back, Ocean Sciences community! We have been quiet for a while, but we are happy to say we’re back! We have missed sharing the latest research, insights, stories, ideas and we are eager to present fresh content and exciting initiatives starting in September. In the following months, we have a range of exciting content lined up for the blog. We will be sharing interesting new research in ocean sciences—whether it is groundbreaking studies, new discoveries or simply fascinating stories. …
Do you know how scientists predict and analyse river flows using computer models? In this blog, Juliette Godet explores the tricky task of matching real-world river measurement points to grid cells in these models. Picture a giant digital map of a river basin, divided into grid squares, and a real-life gauge that measures river flow at a specific point. The job is to figure out which grid cell best represents this gauge. Juliette examines traditional methods, introduces a newer approach …
September has arrived. The Hydrological Sciences (HS) community has been very active, as usual, submitting 152 sessions during the open session call, which is more than 10% of all sessions that are proposed for the entire EGU (overall 1,273 sessions were submitted, slightly more than at EGU24). This is amazing and I would like to thank all the conveners for their excellent ideas and nice work so far. So what is happening next? The 152 sessions have been submitted but …
