Highlights from the HS Blog

Convening a session can sound a bit intimidating, especially if you’ve never done it before or if you are an early career scientist. However, it’s an incredibly enriching experience and well worth the effort. Here is everything you have to know.

We are always looking for new contributions from the HS community! If you would like to suggest a topic contact one of the editors!

Highlights from NH and BG divisions.

If a resilient city had a face: it might look like Kagoshima. What is life really like in such a hazardous zone? Why would anyone choose to live in the constant shadow of a potential eruption? And what measures have been taken to protect the community?

On the first episode of the EGU Biogeosciences Division’s podcast series, Bikem Ekberzade interviews Helen Feord on the algal blooms that contribute to the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Together with Feord, a researcher for the 5-year long project DEEP PURPLE the two scientists talk about cryosphere research, climate change and what it means for us today.
