The full EGU26 programme is now online, with a special highlight on the six provisional press conferences covering cutting edge research on climate studies, natural hazards, tectonics, space science, health and emissions, environmental policy, and more.
Did you know you volunteer at the science-policy interface with EGU?! Several EGU divisions are currently seeking a Division Policy Officer, a voluntary position that aims to promote evidence-informed policymaking and support members of the Division in engaging with policymaking processes. Find out more and get involved today!
Sharing our appreciation and gratitude with the more than 12,000 volunteers and members who generously donated their time to EGU in 2025!
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is seeking to appoint an Executive Assistant to support the EGU Executive Director. Applications will be assessed from 12:00 CET on the 23 March.
The EGU will provide funding to support the organisation of 24 geoscience conferences and training schools run by EGU members in 2026. These events are proposed by EGU members from all career stages, and will be hosted in locations all over the world.
Around 8,200 years ago, the climate of the Northern Hemisphere experienced an abrupt disturbance. In Greenland ice cores, the signal is unmistakable: a rapid drop in temperatures, followed by a gradual return to previous conditions. This episode, which lasted about 150 years, is known as the 8.2 ka event (“ka” meaning thousand years before 1950). It is often described as the most prominent climate perturbation of the Holocene (the last ~11,700 years). The widely accepted explanation involves a massive release …
Have you ever heard of “analogue modelling”? In solid Earth science, directly observing the Earth’s interior is challenging, and the analogue modelling approach often overcomes this limitation by using alternative systems analogous to natural phenomena. By identifying fundamental mechanisms in these tractable systems, we can apply physical scaling laws to understand processes deep within the Earth. This broad concept encompasses not only laboratory experiments but also numerical models and even geological studies. In this post, we explore how analogue modelling …
The EGU26 Programme is online and hopefully by now you have found your abstract or session, so what do you do next?! This year’s scientific programme of the General Assembly features a wide range of options, including the Keynote sessions; Medal and Award Lectures (MAL), Great Debates (GDB), Union Symposia (US), and the Union-wide sessions; Short Courses (SC), Education and Outreach Sessions (EOS), as well the community events like Townhall (TM) and Splinter Meetings (SPM), just to name a few. …
