Division on Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems

The Division on Geosciences Instrumentation and Data Systems (GI) intends to be a forum for developments in instrumentation, technology, methods and data handling used in any field of the various geosciences. By promoting the discussion between specialists from widely diverse fields, advances in instrumentation made in one field might be utilised in other areas also and encourage co-operation, thereby saving separate development work and making new approaches possible, which otherwise might still have to wait for years or even decades.
As nearly every other field of geosciences is related to one or the other instrumentation strategy, many of the GI-sessions are co-organized with sessions from other divisions. Potential contributors to any session are encouraged to evaluate the benefits of a multi-disciplinary discussion versus the specific interest of the own target group.

Current issue of the EGU newsletter
In our December Issue we we are focusing on positive stories of surprises in science. Asmae Ourkiya shared how a prize established in 1900 to reward anyone making contact with alien life (expect Martians) ended up funding more than a century of astronomy research and innovation. Guest blogger Fernanda Matos described the discovery her autism had been driving her interest in Oceanography for years, in her blog on how we can better support people with disability in geoscience. And we highlight some surprises to avoid in our blog on the Austrian visa and Schengen system ahead of EGU26. Also catch up on all the upcoming dates for webinars and funding, including €10,000 to host a Geoscience Day event in your European country, and share your opinions on where EGU should be focusing strategically in the next 5 years in the EGU Members' Survey.
All this and much more, in this month's Loupe!
