Do you have experience with mentoring, networking or career development initiatives? The EGU Outreach Committee is seeking a consultant to assist with the development and delivery of an online mentoring programme for our members, which will run in 2027. Submit your proposal by Friday 16 October 2026.
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is excited to announce this year’s Science Journalism Fellowship awardees: Sophie Fessl, Rebecca Wolfer, and Antonio Alonso Rodríguez.
Are you an EGU member who wants to sharpen your mentorship skills - either as a novice seeking support or an experienced participant looking to provide it? Why not register to take part in our free mentoring training session, organised by the EGU Outreach Committee, to be held on Wednesday 28 October.
Why do storybook donkeys know about earthquakes? Discover a new show premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August exploring seismology and science through storytelling and song, funded by the EGU Special Activity Fund and with support from the University of Edinburgh School of GeoSciences.
The EGU, in close collaboration with the European Parliament Intergroup on Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Sustainable Development, are providing an EGU member with the opportunity to visit Brussels and work alongside a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) to learn more about how science can be used to support policymaking in Europe! Apply by 1 September 2026.
Hello Michael! Thankyou for agreeing to this interview. Could you briefly introduce yourself and your background? Hi, I am Michael Baidu, a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, currently working on the Developing Capacity for storms early warnings for Ghana’s energy sector (EW4Energy) project. I have also worked as a Data Scientist at the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA) at the University of Leeds. I have a PhD in Atmospheric Science from the University of Leeds and a …
When we talk about greenhouse gases and climate change, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) usually receive most of the attention. Yet another gas, nitrous oxide (N2O), quietly plays an important role in our changing climate. Commonly known as “laughing gas”, N2O is a powerful greenhouse gas with nearly 273 times the warming potential of CO2 over a 100-year period. Once released, it can remain in the atmosphere for more than a century. During this time, it contributes not only …
The Earth is an intricately coupled system, and simulating its behavior (from volcanic eruptions to global climate shifts) requires immense computational brute force. For decades, computers have been the quiet backbone of geosciences. Today, however, we stand at a major inflection point. High-Performance Computing (HPC) is pushing the boundaries of high-resolution simulations, while emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computing (QC) are completely fundamentally reshaping how we model, analyze, and predict our planet’s future. This upcoming Geoscience Instrumentation …
