In a new study published in the European Geosciences Union journal Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, researchers find that flood risks can still be considerably reduced if all global promises to cut carbon emissions are kept.
In a new study published today in the European Geosciences Union journal Biogeosciences, two researchers address the soil organic carbon erosion paradox. The study was the result of a collaboration between UCLouvain, Belgium and ETH, Zurich.
Members of the media, public information officers and science bloggers are now invited to register online for the meeting free of charge. EGU23 will be held from 23-28 April, 2023 both in-person (Vienna, Austria) and online.
The EGU invites applications for grants to fund the preparation of university-level geoscience teaching materials. The deadline is 1 May 2023.
Heike Jane Zimmerman, a scupltor and illustrator with an interest in ecological science and micro-organisms, and Maria Gabriela Tejada Toapanta, an illustrator and print artist, have been selected for a residency at the next European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 23–28 May 2023.
Although the “dry gets drier, and wet gets wetter (DDWW)” paradigm is prevalent in summarizing wetting and drying trends, we show that only 11.01 %–40.84 % of the global land confirms and 10.21 %–35.43 % contradicts the paradigm during 1985–2014 from a terrestrial water storage change perspective. Similar proportions that intensify with the increasing emission scenarios persist until the end of the 21st century. Findings benefit understanding of global hydrological responses to climate change.
We investigated how different deep water chemistry and biology modulate the response of surface phytoplankton communities to upwelling in the Peruvian coastal zone. Our results show that the most influential drivers were the ratio of inorganic nutrients (N:P) and the microbial community present in upwelling source water. These led to unexpected and variable development in the phytoplankton assemblage that could not be predicted by the amount of inorganic nutrients alone.
Assessing hundreds or thousands of emission scenarios in terms of their global mean temperature implications requires standardised procedures of infilling, harmonisation, and probabilistic temperature assessments. We here present the open-source “climate-assessment” workflow that was used in the IPCC AR6 Working Group III report. The paper provides key insight for anyone wishing to understand the assessment of climate outcomes of mitigation pathways in the context of the Paris Agreement.
Interested in being actively involved in shaping the EGU NH Division activities and organising the annual General Assembly? Are you working in the Natural Hazards field? Then keep reading… we need you! Our Division is seeking: a new Science Officer for the NH10 Multi-Hazards sub-division a new Social Media Coordinator For both positions, the term is fixed for a two-year period with a possible extension for another two-year period (the maximum duration of a term is four years), from General …
If you’ve not been living under a rock you’ve probably heard of ChatGPT, the AI text generator wowing the internet and striking fear into the heart of exam co-ordinators worldwide. I’ve been meaning to write a blog about lava lakes for a while now, ever since rewatching Werner Herzog and Clive Oppenheimer’s excellent documentary Into the Inferno. But with deadlines looming and lab work and admin crowding in on my time, I kept not getting around to writing. So, I …
For the first time in our history both EGU’s President and Vice-President are women – in fact most of our volunteer senior leadership team is compromised of outstanding women in science, our current President Helen Glaves, our Vice-President Irina Artemieva who will become President at the next General Assembly, and our General Secretary Jane Hart. This year for International Women’s Day we asked Helen and Irina to talk about the lessons they have learned as leaders in science, as well …
