ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2015 EGU NEWSLETTER Monthly information service for members of the European Geosciences Union ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS Welcome to the new EGU newsletter, an information service for EGU members to keep up-to-date with EGU news on a regular basis. The monthly emails (which replace the quarterly newsletter GeoQ) provide information about EGU events and activities, from highlighting papers published in our open access journals to providing news relating to the EGU’s scientific divisions and meetings, including the General Assembly. If you have comments or suggestions about this new format, please email EGU Media and Communications Manager Bárbara Ferreira at media@egu.eu. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE General Assembly EGU News Journal Watch EGU Blogs Meetings Jobs ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Register now for the EGU 2015 General Assembly: A Voyage Through Scales (https://www.egu2015.eu/) * Submit your photos to the annual Imaggeo Photo Competition (https://imaggeo.egu.eu/photo-contest/) * Young researchers: communicate your science through video!(https://blogs.egu.eu/geolog/2015/01/21/communicate-your-science-video-competition-at-egu-2015/) * A first-timer’s guide to the EGU General Assembly (https://blogs.egu.eu/geolog/2015/01/23/a-first-timers-guide-to-the-2015-general-assembly/) ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Results of the 2014 elections for the next EGU treasurer and division presidents (https://www.egu.eu/elections/egu-election-autumn-2014/) * Connecting Earth scientists and school students: apply to take part in I’m a Geoscientist!
