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 January issue, we are choosing to reflect on the ambition and risks of science - not a new year, new you, but rather a steady determination to discover, based on our existing, deep wells of curiosity. Catarina Aydar talks about how exploration sometimes goes hand-in-hand with tragedy with the story of the first attempt of a teacher, Christa McAuliffe, to go to space, onboard the ill-fated Challenger, whilst Sabrina Minnick, shares the triumph of Jacobus Kapteyn revealing the proper motion of the stars over 100 years ago. Astrobiological chemist Silke Asche talks about her work searching for life on other planets, and András Zlinszky shares his tips for your best EGU General Assembly yet! Also don't miss our on all the upcoming webinars, newest publications, a brand new EGU open access journal, and a job vacancy in the EGU Executive office in Munich, Germany!
All this and much more, in this month's Loupe!
