ISSUE 43, JULY 2018 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/43/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS This month we are highlighting two new studies published in EGU journals. One, published in The Cryosphere, shows how much sea level would rise following the collapse of two Antarctic ice shelves. The other, featured in Biogeosciences, shows that oxygen loss in the coastal Baltic Sea over the past century is unprecedented in the last 1500 years. You can read the press releases for both studies on the EGU website (https://egu.eu/632XWI/). Also this month, we have opened the call for candidates for EGU Treasurer: if you'd like to nominate yourself or propose a candidate, you can do so by 15 September (https://egu.eu/78G1JM/). Finally, if you'd like to apply for financial support from the EGU to organise a meeting, make sure to submit an application by 15 August (https://egu.eu/2GSGU5/). This is also the deadline to submit proposals (https://egu.eu/3YREC1/) for Union Symposia and Great Debates at the EGU 2019 General Assembly. The deadline for scientific sessions is 6 September. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * EGU Autumn 2018 elections: call for candidates (https://egu.eu/78G1JM/) * Press Release – New study puts a figure on sea-level rise following Antarctic ice shelves’ collapse (https://egu.eu/9GRGIT/) * Press Release – New study: oxygen loss in the coastal Baltic Sea is “unprecedentedly severe” (https://egu.eu/11VA7O/) * Apply for EGU financial support for training schools and propose conferences within two new series by 15 August (https://egu.eu/2GSGU5/) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Submit your session ideas for EGU 2019: the deadline for Union Symposia and Great Debate proposals is 15 August; the deadline for sessions, short courses, and townhall meetings is 6 September (https://egu.eu/3YREC1/) * How to convene a session at the General Assembly… in flow charts!
