“Plants carry traces of past weather. Reading them may help us navigate a hotter, drier world.” Wenli Zhao As global warming intensifies drought frequency, understanding how ecosystems store and deplete water is critical for anticipating vegetation stress. This blog walks us through a novel groundbreaking study published on EGU journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS). Led by Wenli Zhao, who is also authoring this blog, this paper uses memory-aware machine learning to map how distinct plant functional types retain …
Computational geodynamic models are powerful tools for understanding Earth’s deep interior, but how do we know they are producing realistic results? In this week’s News & Views, Alina Valop, a PhD candidate from Virginia Tech, unpacks the world of geodynamic kernels and shows how these sensitivity functions provide a computationally efficient way to benchmark mantle flow models, test viscosity structures, and bridge the gap between numerical simulations and geophysical observations. “You should produce the kernels and compare them to the …
We are excited to announce the 22nd edition of Geodesy Campfire – Share Your Research in September. The Geodesy EGU Campfire Events “Share Your Research” give (early career) researchers the chance to talk about their work. We have two exciting talks by our guest speakers, Brian Bramanto and Arash Tayfehrostami. Below, you can find the details of the topics awaiting us. We will have time to network after the presentations. Please join us on Zoom on 17th September 2026 from …
