ISSUE 52, APRIL 2019 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/52/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS Earlier this month, we hosted a record-breaking number of participants (over 16,000) at our annual EGU General Assembly in Vienna. The meeting included over 16,000 poster, oral and PICO presentations in over 650 sessions, as well as a number of popular short courses and side events. We are grateful to all participants, including conveners, the EGU Programme Committee, Copernicus Meetings, conference assistants, exhibitors, and ACV and EGU office staff, for making the meeting a success. If you participated in the meeting, we especially welcome your suggestions and feedback (https://egu2019.eu/feedback, deadline: 9 June), which will be instrumental in ensuring an even more successful General Assembly next year (3–8 May 2020, Vienna). Of special highlight at the meeting was a session on ‘Science, Politics and European (dis)integration: A Conversation of Geoscientists with Ilaria Capua and Mario Monti’, which motivated the EGU to issue a declaration supporting a united Europe for the benefit of global scientific research (https://egu.eu/1L41SM). In other news this month, the EGU launched a new journal (https://egu.eu/0J0M8E), Geochronology, as well as a science-policy competition (https://egu.eu/0367F9) for early career scientists (deadline: 15 May). We also ran an extraordinary election, which saw Claudio Zaccone elected as SSS Division President (https://egu.eu/5U2AHF). Finally, we would like to remind you that we are currently accepting nominations for the 2020 EGU awards and medals (https://egu.eu/917MUU), including for the new Angela Croome Award (https://egu.eu/7IACWV) and Katia and Maurice Krafft Award (https://egu.eu/9M9JNF). To promote the best deserving geoscientists from around the world and increase diversity in the group of EGU awardees and medallists, we encourage the EGU membership to consider gender, geographical, and cultural balance when nominating outstanding Earth, planetary and space scientists at various career stages. Please consider submitting a nomination by 15 June. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE General Assembly EGU News Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Help us improve the meeting by giving us your feedback (https://egu2019.eu/feedback, deadline 9 June) * EGU General Assembly 2019 numbers and thank-you to all participants (https://www.egu2019.eu/) * Abstract authors: upload your EGU 2019 presentation online (https://egu.eu/9BV3IQ) * The EGU General Assembly 2019 documented through art (https://egu.eu/7K6B9L) * Announcing the winners of this year’s EGU Imaggeo Photo Contest (https://egu.eu/8LM27P) * Coverage of the EGU General Assembly 2019 on GeoLog, the EGU blog (https://egu.eu/3E2OKF) More about the EGU General Assembly at https://www.egu2019.eu. ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * EGU Declaration: Scientific community strongly supports European integration and cooperation (https://egu.eu/1L41SM) * Results of the EGU Extraordinary Spring Election 2019 for SSS Division President announced (https://egu.eu/5U2AHF) * Press Release: More than 90% of glacier volume in the Alps could be lost by 2100 (https://egu.eu/4STGIB) * EGU Public Engagement Grants 2019 winners announced (https://egu.eu/65LD40) * Early career scientists: apply to attend the EGU 2019 science-policy event in Brussels (https://egu.eu/0367F9, deadline 15 May) * Announcing EGU’s newest journal: Geochronology (https://egu.eu/0J0M8E) * Nominate candidates for EGU awards and medals by 15 June (https://egu.eu/917MUU) More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ JOURNAL WATCH Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) * Vertical and horizontal distribution of submicron aerosol chemical composition and physical characteristics across northern India during pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons (http://egu.eu/9FQ9WH) * A new description of probability density distributions of polar mesospheric clouds (https://egu.eu/44AANM) * Permafrost nitrous oxide emissions observed on a landscape scale using the airborne eddy-covariance method (https://egu.eu/6TEWMH) Climate of the Past (CP) * The 4.2 ka BP Event in the Mediterranean region: an overview (https://egu.eu/0EA7BZ) Earth System Dynamics (ESD) * ESD Ideas: Propagation of high-frequency forcing to ice age dynamics (https://egu.eu/01YALK) Geoscientific Model Development (GM) * Terrainbento 1.0: a Python package for multi-model analysis in long-term drainage basin evolution (https://egu.eu/75K8F7) Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS) * Controls on spatial and temporal variability in streamflow and hydrochemistry in a glacierized catchment (https://egu.eu/1I6XWQ) The Cryosphere (TC) * Winter tourism under climate change in the Pyrenees and the French Alps: relevance of snowmaking as a technical adaptation (https://egu.eu/5C5L97) * Uncertainty quantification of the multi-centennial response of the Antarctic ice sheet to climate change (https://egu.eu/8WK69S) * Modelling the future evolution of glaciers in the European Alps under the EURO-CORDEX RCM ensemble (https://egu.eu/4936WA) * Pathways of ice-wedge degradation in polygonal tundra under different hydrological conditions (https://egu.eu/6PBMM1) Other papers highlighted by the editors of EGU's open access journals are available online at https://egu.eu/4XF4JN. ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU BLOGS GeoLog, the EGU blog * GeoTalk: “Grown-ups are not focusing on the plastic problem, not as much as I want them to” (https://egu.eu/6EG0WY) * GeoPolicy: Science in policymaking: Who is responsible?
