Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of our members and volunteers, EGU25 was another record breaking year with an incredible 20,984 people participating in the General Assembly, both in Vienna and online!
Giorgia Stasi will be the first ever EGU volunteer to serve as Early Career Scientist Representative and be elected to lead her division, Energy, Resources and Environment, as Division President, whilst still in the Early Career Scientist stage.
EGU stands behind our sibling American scientific societies, providing our support for them and all their members in the face of recent changes to US scientific policy.
The Union restates our support for a geoscience community that is diverse as an essential feature of conducting cutting edge, innovative science research. In order to support this, we share a list of EGU’s tools, resources and policies that our community can use to broaden access to science, both in Europe and around the globe.
Following a vote by EGU’s volunteer Council, the Union will no longer be posting on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The far-reaching impact of play on learning has been celebrated through the centuries. Be it the work Schola Ludus by John Amos Comenius, Friedrich Schiller’s Spieltrieb, Johan Huizinga’s Homo ludens… or the Geoscience Games sessions during EGU General Assembly, which marked its 8th edition during EGU25. The EGU Geoscience Games sessions were founded by Chris Skinner, Rolf Hut, and Sam Illingworth in 2018 as a forum to discuss best practices of using games to communicate geosciences, followed by a gaming …
Rita, welcome to GeoTalk! Can you tell us a bit about what initially drew you to the field of coastal geomorphology and wetland ecosystems? Thanks for inviting me! My academic background is in environmental engineering, with a lifelong passion for coastal areas and geomorphology. The real inspiration comes from a constant desire to contribute to the conservation of natural ecosystems. Thus, at some point, I felt that to better contribute to this cause I should learn more about their dynamics. …
Antarctica is a unique place where history, adventure, and science collide. It’s a continent that has fascinated explorers for centuries, but much of its story has been told through the lens of men who have ventured into its icy expanse. Natalie Hewit, a documentary filmmaker with a love for the polar continent, is changing that. Through her films, she brings Antarctica’s past and present to life, retelling its history and giving a voice to the stories that would otherwise stay …
