ISSUE 5, MAY 2015 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/5/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS It has been just over a month since the EGU General Assembly 2015 in Vienna. During the conference we made a video of the best bits of a very productive week, which you can see by following the 'highlights' link below. We would also like to take this opportunity remind you that you can still provide feedback on the EGU 2015 General Assembly (http://egu2015.eu/feedback) , to help us make the meeting even better in the years to come. In other news, particularly interesting research has been published in the EGU’s open access journals (https://egu.eu/25E0YS) over the past month. We highlight some of it in this newsletter, through the press releases featured in the EGU News section, and the papers in Journal Watch. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE General Assembly EGU News Journal Watch EGU Blogs Meetings Jobs ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Help us make the EGU General Assembly even better by completing our short survey (http://egu2015.eu/feedback) * General Assembly 2015 – Highlights (https://egu.eu/12NZ9A) * Upload your EGU 2015 General Assembly presentation (https://egu.eu/6WIRFD) ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Nominate candidates for EGU Awards and Medals until 15 June (https://egu.eu/2VG6EW) * Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems indexed in Web of Science (https://egu.eu/6G4YJC) * Press Release: Glacier changes at the top of the world – Over 70% of glacier volume in Everest region could be lost by 2100 (https://egu.eu/1WNHPK) * Press Release: New study shows Antarctic ice shelf is thinning from above and below (https://egu.eu/4TEIG9) * Press Release: ‘Dead zones’ found in Atlantic open waters (https://egu.eu/1BWV23) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ JOURNAL WATCH Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (AMT) * Local and regional scale measurements of CH4, δ13CH4, and C2H6 in the Uintah Basin using a mobile stable isotope analyzer (https://egu.eu/8QL58V) Biogeosciences (BG) * Open ocean dead zones in the tropical North Atlantic Ocean (https://egu.eu/99YET3) The Cryosphere (TC) * Oceanic and atmospheric forcing of Larsen C Ice-Shelf thinning (https://egu.eu/6DGFZN) * The GAMDAM glacier inventory: a quality-controlled inventory of Asian glaciers (https://egu.eu/4LZ1HG) Other papers highlighted by the editors of EGU's open access journals are available online at https://www.egu.eu/news/journal-watch/. ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU BLOGS GeoLog, the official EGU blog * GeoTalk: How hydrothermal gases change soil biology (https://egu.eu/4NYS52) * Meet the experts: The future of solar-terrestrial research (https://egu.eu/7T5YI7) * Iceland’s Bárðarbunga-Holuhraun: a remarkable volcanic eruption (https://egu.eu/6CRIM2) * Communication and education in geoscience: practice, research and reflection (https://egu.eu/0ITNZK) * Floods and droughts set to increase due to climate change (https://egu.eu/36ZNMK) * Scientists share new observations from comet-chasing Rosetta Mission (https://egu.eu/5YZFWA) EGU blog network * Why Kathmandu was so vulnerable (https://egu.eu/44AB8P), in An Atom's-Eye View of the Planet * Nepal Earthquake – Further Reading (https://egu.eu/116XA5), in Geology for Global Development EGU division blogs * My first journey to Antarctica – Brice Van Liefferinge (https://egu.eu/1J1FTS), in Cryospheric Sciences * Fire and soil microorganisms: where should we focus on?
