The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025 Field Schools for Teachers and Geoscience Education Events grants. These awards, aimed at advancing education in Earth, planetary, and space sciences, offer financial support to initiatives that foster geoscience learning across different educational levels.
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.

From 1–5 August 2025, the medieval hilltop town of Erice, Sicily, hosted the second UNDERPIN workshop, a meeting organised within the Nonlinear Processes in Geosciences community and dedicated to advancing the science of weather extremes. The event brought together a truly diverse group of researchers, spanning climate dynamics, attribution science, socio-economic impacts, statistical physics, and mathematical modelling. This breadth reflected the complexity of extremes themselves, which demand insights from both theory and application, as well as the translation of research …
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. During this month, we are featuring Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology (GMPV), Geodynamics (GD), and Stratigraphy, Sedimentology, and Palaeontology (SSP). They are represented by the journals Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) and Solid Earth (SE). Geoscientific Model Development A Bayesian framework for inferring regional and global change from stratigraphic proxy records …
Fresh out of your bachelor’s degree, or more commonly these days, your master’s degree, it can be tempting to pursue your PhD as quickly as possible. While there are compelling reasons to dive straight in, rushing into a PhD might not be your best choice. To be or not to be a researcher? Before you start firing off applications, take a step back.
