SC4.8/GM13.26/NH12.7/PS8.3Meet the editors (1): how to write and revise your manuscript Early career scientists Convener(s): Faranak Tootoonchi Co-Convener(s): Aayush Srivastava, Romano Clementucci, Christina Anna Orieschnig, Kirsten M Florentine Weber Mon, 15 Apr, 19:00–20:00 (CEST) Preparing a manuscript for submission to a scientific journal can be a challenging task for many scientists. However, it's crucial to recognize that scientific writing is an indispensable component of the research process. In fact, the manner in which results are presented is often just as significant as the results themselves. Crafting a scientific paper is a skill that can be cultivated over time and progressively advances with practice. This concise course aims to provide early career scientists with straightforward … Read more
SC6.9/ESSI6.18/GM13.41/HS11.11/NH12.16DataViz: Visualise your data effectively and avoid common pitfalls Early career scientists Public engagement Convener(s): Edoardo Martini Co-Convener(s): Paola Mazzoglio, Epari Ritesh Patro, Roshanak Tootoonchi, Debasish Mishra Fri, 19 Apr, 14:00–15:45 (CEST) Visualisation of scientific data is an integral part of scientific understanding and communication. Scientists have to make decisions about the most effective way to communicate their results everyday. How do we best visualise the data to understand it ourselves? How do we best visualise our results to communicate with others? Common pitfalls can be overcrowding, overcomplicated or suboptimal plot types or inaccessible colour schemes. Scientists may also get overwhelmed by the graphics requirements of different publishers, for presentations, posters, etc. … Read more
US2Climate emergency, human agency: making sense of the current state of scientific knowledge on climate change to strengthen climate literacy Early career scientists Policy Convener(s): Carlo Laj, Jean Luc Berenguer Mon, 15 Apr, 08:30–10:15 (CEST) Climate science now unequivocally states that human activities have caused the global warming that is observed to date. This state of knowledge builds on centuries of scientific advances in the understanding of the climate system, from multiple lines of evidence - observations, theory, process understanding, and numerical modelling. This presentation will build on key findings from the Sixth Assessment Cycle of the Intergovernemental Panel on Climate Change, and place the current scientific understanding in this context of climate science history, … Read more
GDB3The Science activist: should science get Political? Early career scientists Policy Convener(s): Kirsten v. Elverfeldt Co-Convener(s): Viktor J. Bruckman, Simon Clark, Christina West Tue, 25 Apr, 10:45–12:30 (CEST) Room E1 Proponents of collaboration between scientific experts with advocacy and activist groups point towards the inextricable bonds between science and politics, where neither exist in a vacuum and silence only perpetuates the problems research seeks to resolve. Opponents cite the threat to integrity: scientists associated with or engaging in activism risk producing an image of science as a political group rather than a dispassionate process of knowledge generation. Such an image may erode public trust and risk political retaliation through funding … Read more
GDB4Scientific Neocolonialism: tools and mechanisms to advocate and amplify the voices, knowledge and recognition of local knowledge in geoscience research Early career scientists Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Policy Convener(s): Robyn Pickering Co-Convener(s): Anouk Beniest, Barbara Ervens, Giuliana Panieri, Loyuá Costa Thu, 27 Apr, 10:45–12:30 (CEST) Room E1 Following on from the success of the 2022 EGU EDI Union Symposium 'Scientific Neocolonialism: What is it and why should you care?', the EGU would like to expand the conversation surrounding this important topic. In particular, the aim of this Great Debate is to hear from people that have experienced neocolonialism in science, acknowledge the issues, explore solutions that our scientific community and the EGU can implement to raise awareness, and discuss examples to eliminate neocolonialism from our geoscience ecosystem. … Read more
GDB5Is social media outreach? Early career scientists Public engagement Convener(s): Jenny Turton Co-Convener(s): Simon Clark, Nazimul Islam Mon, 24 Apr, 14:00–15:45 (CEST) Room E1 Is social media a worthwhile vector for communicating science and reaching non-expert audiences? Proponents of social media highlight its ability for bringing otherwise inaccessible research to a global network, spreading research to new audiences whilst cultivating a following. The public can be updated with discoveries in real-time, without the potentially modifying lens of traditional media. And with content under the control of individuals or small groups communicators can flex and nurture their creativity. But communicating through social media often requires … Read more
