ISSUE 32, AUGUST 2017 EGU NEWSLETTER Monthly information service for members of the European Geosciences Union Read this email in HTML format at https://www.egu.eu/newsletter/egu/32/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS This month, the EGU blog GeoLog featured an interview with EGU President Jonathan Bamber (https://egu.eu/1OTUIR), where he spoke about his plans for the Union, how scientists can stand up for science and how the Union plans to foster the involvement of early career scientists (ECS) in its activities. If you, too, would like to help shape the future of the EGU and contribute to the work it does for the scientific community, feel free to nominate yourself for one of the roles available in the EGU Council (https://egu.eu/2NE748) by 15 September. Another important date coming up is September 8: the deadline for submission of sessions and short courses ideas for the EGU 2018 General Assembly (https://egu.eu/4W5XLB). If interdisciplinarity is important to you and your work, know that you can also co-organise your session as an interdisciplinary event (https://egu.eu/0MXEQM). ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE General Assembly EGU News Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * EGU Autumn 2017 elections: propose candidates by 15 September (https://egu.eu/2NE748) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Help shape the conference programme: Interdisciplinary Events at the 2018 General Assembly (https://egu.eu/0MXEQM) * Submit EGU 2018 General Assembly sessions (https://egu.eu/4W5XLB) or propose short courses (https://egu.eu/5VRUME) by 8 September * Guidelines for EGU General Assembly session conveners (https://egu.eu/3J7KQC) More about the EGU General Assembly at https://www.egu2018.eu. ------------------------------------------------------------ JOURNAL WATCH Annales Geophysicae (ANGEO) * The electric current approach in the solar–terrestrial relationship (https://egu.eu/9MJ84Q) Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) * Simultaneous measurements of new particle formation at 1 s time resolution at a street site and a rooftop site (https://egu.eu/1FWMIV) * NOx emission trends over Chinese cities estimated from OMI observations during 2005 to 2015 (https://egu.eu/5SVJ9D) Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS) * Has dyke development in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta shifted flood hazard downstream?
