ISSUE 3, MARCH 2015 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/3/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS The preparations for the 2015 EGU General Assembly (https://www.egu2015.eu) (12–17 April, Vienna), which has A Voyage Through Scales as a theme this year, continue in full swing. You can now download the conference app and prepare your personal programme, as well as register for the conference. Find out more by following the links below. In this newsletter, you will also find information about events at the Assembly especially targeted at young scientists. If you are an early career researcher interested in getting involved with the EGU, we are looking for new young scientist representatives (https://www.egu.eu/ecs/representatives/) for the Geomorphology, Natural Hazards, Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems, and Earth Magnetism and Rock Physics Divisions. Contact Laura Roberts (projects@egu.eu) for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE General Assembly EGU News Journal Watch EGU Blogs Meetings Jobs ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * The EGU2015 mobile app is now available for iPhones and Android devices.
