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.
The full results of the Union’s autumn 2025 election are now available.

I arrive in …

Have you ever wondered how many glaciers will still exist in the future? Or how many glaciers we might lose each year in the coming decades? In our new study (Van Tricht et al., 2025), we shift the focus of glacier modelling from ice volume to individual glaciers. Because every glacier, no matter how small, can matter. Not necessarily for global sea-level rise, but for landscapes, ecosystems, cultures, and communities. Using three independent glacier models, we simulated the future of …
