ISSUE 45, SEPTEMBER 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/45/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS Last week, the EGU hosted its first science-policy dinner debate in Brussels. The event, 'Horizon Geoscience: overcoming societal challenges, creating change', was organised in collaboration with the European Federation of Geologists (EFG) and brought together geoscientists, policymakers and industry representatives. On the EGU website, we report on the outcome of the discussion and publish the key findings from the Horizon 2020 Geoscience Survey (https://egu.eu/63E9JS/) conducted earlier this year. In the past few weeks, we have also issued three press releases highlighting research published in some of EGU's open access journals. Follow the links to find out how bombing raids in the Second World War impacted the ionosphere (https://egu.eu/48941F), how glacial geoengineering could help limit sea-level rise (https://egu.eu/0EJ2OQ), and what the point of no return for climate action (https://egu.eu/4YMRH4) might be. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * EGU and EFG establish dialogue with policy makers on how the geosciences can help overcome Europe’s major societal challenges (https://egu.eu/63E9JS/) * Impact of WWII bombing raids felt at edge of space (https://egu.eu/48941F) * Glacial engineering could limit sea-level rise, if we get our emissions under control (https://egu.eu/0EJ2OQ) * Deadline for climate action – Act strongly before 2035 to keep warming below 2°C (https://egu.eu/4YMRH4) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * EGU 2019 General Assembly: abstract submission (https://egu.eu/0LLWTN) to open by 22 October * New abstract rules will be implemented at the next EGU General Assembly: stay tuned for more information, which will be available from the EGU website (https://www.egu.eu) and the meeting website (https://www.egu2019.eu) from late October More about the EGU General Assembly at https://www.egu2019.eu. ------------------------------------------------------------ JOURNAL WATCH Annales Geophysicae (ANGEO) * The Ionospheric response over the UK to major bombing raids during World War II (https://egu.eu/1FR35F) * Sporadic auroras near the geomagnetic equator: in the Philippines, on 27 October 1856 (https://egu.eu/7RI07I/) Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) * How well do stratospheric reanalyses reproduce high-resolution satellite temperature measurements?
