EGU’s Outreach Committee are seeking participants for the 2026 Teacher-Scientist Pairing Scheme and co-create a video lesson that can be used in schools.
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is excited to announce this year’s Science Journalism Fellowship awardees: Tim Hornyak, Marta Abbà, and Alejandro Munoz
Following a vote by EGU’s volunteer Council, the EGU has adopted a new comprehensive emergency support policy that will provide greater access to all EGU's scientific tools, resources and opportunities to any researcher in the Earth, planetary and spaces sciences, anywhere in the world, who is impacted by disaster, crisis or conflict.
Applications are now open for experienced attendees to apply to be a part of the EGU26 Peer Support programme. The Peer Support programme, formerly called the mentoring scheme, helps experienced attendees of the General Assembly to facilitate novice attendees in getting the most out of their experience during the week of the meeting. Submit your application by 31 March 2026.
'Natural Hazards, Human Impact and Earth's Resources: Shaping life and Earth' will be the theme of the EGU26 Geosciences Information For Teachers (GIFT) workshop to be held from 4-6 May 2026. Apply for your place by Friday 28 November 2025.
When a tremor shakes the ground, the first thing many people do isn’t check a scientific database: they reach for their phone. Within seconds, searches like “earthquake near me” surge across Google. This simple phrase captures something profound: a universal need not to understand seismic mechanics, but to know “Am I safe?” Over the past few years, this “near me” framing has quietly reshaped how the public interacts with science. It connects global-scale data to local, personal relevance, but also …
An isolated, idyllic, and inspiring setting in the gorgeous Centennial Valley of Montana, where nothing pulls your attention from the task ahead, a motivated group of PhD students and postdocs in glaciology, and five energetic lecturers: the perfect combination for tackling the ambitious challenge of exploring the interface between glaciology and machine learning. Who wouldn’t learn well here, especially with wild geese, antelopes, and hummingbirds as your neighbours? From the 14th until the 23rd of June this year, we – …
Prof. Dr. Ulrike Lohmann is a leading atmospheric physicist and climate scientist at ETH Zurich’s Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, renowned for her pioneering work on clouds, aerosols, and their interactions within the Earth’s climate system. Her research has significantly advanced our understanding of how microscopic particles influence cloud formation and, in turn, the global energy balance—a critical factor in climate modeling and prediction. This year, Prof. Lohmann was honored with the prestigious Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal from the European …
