ISSUE 53, MAY 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/53/email/ ============================================================ HIGHLIGHTS The deadline to nominate the best deserving researchers for the EGU 2020 awards and medals (https://egu.eu/917MUU) is this month, on the 15th of June. To 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. We also remind you that the EGU launched two exciting new awards this year, which we are also accepting nominations for: the Angela Croome Award (https://egu.eu/7IACWV) for science journalists and Katia and Maurice Krafft Award (https://egu.eu/9M9JNF) for researchers for excellence in science outreach and engagement. Another important date to keep in mind is 9 June, the deadline for submitting your feedback on the EGU General Assembly 2019 (https://egu2019.eu/feedback). This is your chance to help us improve the 2020 meeting. If you are looking to organise a geoscience school or conference, keep an eye on egu.eu next week as we’ll be launching our call for applications for financial support from the EGU to organise topical events. ------------------------------------------------------------ IN THIS ISSUE EGU News General Assembly Journal Watch EGU Blogs ------------------------------------------------------------ EGU NEWS * Nominate candidates for EGU awards and medals by 15 June (https://egu.eu/917MUU) * Introducing Geoscience Days, a new EGU series of national public engagement events (https://egu.eu/5XVLED/) * Opening at the start of June: Apply for EGU financial support for training schools and conference series More EGU news items are available on the EGU website at https://www.egu.eu/news/all/. ------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL ASSEMBLY * Help us improve the meeting by giving us your feedback (https://egu2019.eu/feedback) (deadline 9 June) * Abstract authors: upload your EGU 2019 presentation online (https://egu.eu/9BV3IQ) * Watch the conference highlights online: videos of some of the EGU 2019 main sessions now available (https://egu.eu/52EHBO/) * GIFT2019: videos from the latest Geosciences Information for Teachers workshop now online (https://egu.eu/8M6PAP/) More about the EGU General Assembly at https://www.egu2019.eu. ------------------------------------------------------------ JOURNAL WATCH Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) * Photooxidants from brown carbon and other chromophores in illuminated particle extracts (https://egu.eu/6QBKCZ/) * Northern Hemisphere continental winter warming following the 1991 Mt.
