ISSUE 13, JANUARY 2016 EGU NEWSLETTER Monthly information service for members of the European Geosciences Union Read this email in HTML format at https://www.egu.eu/newsletter/egu/13/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS The abstracts are in! Over 16,500 abstracts were submitted to the EGU 2016 General Assembly, more than ever before. With excellent and diverse research being presented in Vienna (17–22 April), it promises to be a great conference. Make sure to register (https://egu.eu/1MDJNF) by 17 March for discounted rates. If this is the first time you are attending Europe's largest geoscience conference, have a look at our first timer's guide to the EGU General Assembly (https://egu.eu/6FJMZE) to get your bearings in Vienna. For a chance to get a free registration for next year's conference, submit your pictures to the 2016 Imaggeo Photo Contest (https://imaggeo.egu.eu/photo-contest/). If you are an early career scientist (ECS), you can also enter the Communicate your Science Video Competition (https://egu.eu/3W8XGA). ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Nominate candidates (https://egu.eu/2IT0YX) for EGU awards and medals * Interested in science outreach?
