HIGHLIGHTS

April was a very busy but rewarding month at the EGU. From 12 to 17 April in Vienna, we celebrated A Voyage through Scales at the 2015 EGU General Assembly, a meeting which has received extremely positive feedback and excellent media coverage. Over 11,800 Earth, planetary and space scientists from around the world presented and discussed geoscientific research in close to 600 sessions. Find out more about the Assembly, and some of the research presented at the conference, by following the links below.
