The 2026 autumn elections for the next EGU Treasurer and Early Career Scientist (ECS) Union Representative will take place from 2 to 24 November 2026. EGU would like to invite you to propose a candidate to either of these vacancies by 8 September. All our members are welcome to propose a candidate, and you can even nominate yourself!
EGU's Executive Director Philippe Courtial was this year honoured with the prestigious JpGU international Contribution Award at the 2026 joint JpGU-AGU scientific meeting in Chiba, Japan, in May 2026.
Join the Special Activity Fund supported Mission Earth project, and help young people across Europe develop tools to communicate about climate change issues in their area!
Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of our members and volunteers, EGU26 was another record breaking year with an amazing 22,497 people participating in the General Assembly, both in Vienna and online!
EGU has selected 10 member-proposed, high-profile or ‘out-of-the-box’ not-for-profit activities, with high visibility and large impact to receive up to 30,000€ from the EGU Special Activity Fund.
Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights section. For July, we are featuring the Planetary and Solar System Sciences (PS), Seismology (SM), and Tectonics and Structural Geology (TS). They are represented by the journals Solid Earth (SE), Geoscientific Model Development (GMD),and Annales Geophysicae (ANGEO). Geoscientific Model Development A global high-resolution hydrological model to simulate the dynamics of surface …
The research gap Ocean tides play a significant role on ocean circulation, coastal processes and mass variations. Tides are generated from the gravitational interaction between Earth, Moon and Sun, which typically results in two high and two low tides observed each day. Satellite observations have vastly expanded our understanding of ocean tides. In 2022, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite was launched, funded by CNES and NASA, and provided a new perspective on the ocean surface and inland …
Posted in: Ocean Sciences | Reviews & Perspectives | Ocean Science Jubilee Special Issue We usually think of ocean salinity as the ocean’s rain gauge. Rain, rivers, and melting ice freshen the surface; evaporation leaves it saltier. Seen from space, these changing patterns reveal how Earth’s water cycle is evolving, with wet regions generally becoming fresher and dry regions saltier as the climate warms. That familiar climate fingerprint has become increasingly clear. More than fifteen years of satellite observations, together …
