The European Geosciences Union’s annual General Assembly will be held from 27 April – 02 May 2025 in a hybrid format. Journalists, science bloggers and other media participants can now browse the online press centre for press conferences and sessions of media interest.
The EGU General Assembly 2025 is fast approaching, and the full programme is now online! With over 1000 sessions and nearly 19,000 abstracts, the meeting will showcase groundbreaking research across the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. This year’s press conferences will highlight urgent topics, including climate hazards, air quality and public health, technological and social innovations for climate solutions, and even new discoveries from NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter. For information on accommodation and travel, for in-person attendees, please refer to the appropriate sections of the main EGU General Assembly 2025 website.
Following a vote by EGU’s volunteer Council, the Union will no longer be posting on X, formerly known as Twitter.
EGU announces ‘Climate Hazard and Risk’ as our new Policy Priority Area and launches an open call for members of the Climate Hazard and Risk Policy Task Force, who will develop new ways to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from research into practice and to connect policymakers in Europe to the most relevant geoscience experts.
Sharing our appreciation and gratitude with the more than 11,900 volunteers and members who generously donated their time to EGU in 2024!
Yesterday, the European Geosciences Union (EGU) hosted a vibrant and impactful event focused on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) within the geosciences community. This networking session provided an open and welcoming space for participants to meet the dedicated volunteer members of the EGU EDI Committee and learn more about the initiatives implemented by the EGU to raise awareness of the diverse challenges faced by geoscientists in their careers. The event was a chance to engage with colleagues and fellow participants …
If you’ve ever been to the EGU General Assembly, you know the feeling: everything, everywhere, all at once. Thousands of posters, hundreds of sessions, and approximately a million things competing for your attention (including the lure of the sunshine outside, if only for five minutes). Until someone invents a way to be in more than one place at once, we’re all stuck filtering. We comb through the programme, starting with sessions in our division of specialism, and often ending there …
In the age of climate change, glaciers across the Arctic are melting, consequently reducing regional freshwater supplies and contributing to the ongoing rise in global sea levels. But how fast do they melt? And is it possible to predict that? A new study on the Xeitl Sit’ (LeConte) glacier in Alaska aims to answer these questions. The research group from Oregon State University, Harvard University, Tufts University, the University of Oregon, Rutgers University and University of California San Diego focused …
