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.

The 2022 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Noemi Franco Performance assessment of the space-borne Raman Lidar ATLAS – Atmospheric Thermodynamics LidAr in Space
In the February newsletter, we hear of exceptional stories from extraordinary women and alternative career options for women in science. Women scientists also tell us the importance of being role models to the younger generation and how other young girls and women can embrace careers in science.
We have heard the expression ‘making a mountain of a molehill’. But most women cannot report a molehill, and most men do not think they are part of the problem. Ingrid Anell examines this complex web, the challenges that hinder gender equity and ways to keep women in academia.
