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.
Social media data are increasingly being analysed to support disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. A new comprehensive NHESS review examines how such data are being used in disaster management research.
Núria Altimir, a data visualization and data portrait artist, and Fabian Wadsworth, a mixed media visual artist and poet, have been selected for a residency at the next European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 3 – 8 May 2026.
The EGU has this week launched a new publication, Earth Observation, an open-access, two-stage journal with open and public peer review, following the model of other EGU journals, published by Copernicus Publications.
Members of the media, public information officers, and science bloggers are now invited to register for the meeting free of charge. EGU26 will be held from 3 - 8 May, 2026 both onsite in Vienna, Austria, and virtually.
Like many glaciologists (in the broad sense – as in, cryospheric researchers, not just those who study glaciers!), my professional “home” has been the International Glaciological Society (IGS) ever since grad school; My first conference was an IGS branch meeting, I found my postdoc by networking at an IGS symposium, I have published work in IGS journals, and IGS has supported many community activities I have been a part of. But, I know there are a lot of cryospheric scientists …
During winter, mountains gain mass because of snow covering the peaks. In spring, the snow melts and flows downstream until it reaches the ocean or evaporates into the atmosphere to reach back on the surface as rain or snow. The global water cycle is very complex and essential for life on our planet. Did you know we can measure how the water is distributed by measuring its mass from space? How can satellite gravimetry collect all that information? Already since …
Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights section. During this month, we are featuring The Cryosphere (CR) and Solar-Terrestrial Sciences (ST). They are represented by the journals Geoscientific Model Development (GMD), Annales Geophysicae (ANGEO), and The Cryosphere. Annales Geophysicae A source or a sink? How the altitude of particle precipitation influence high-latitude electrodynamics – 26 February 2026 When …
