Home / Education / The Geoscience Education Network for Teachers (GEN4T)
On 13 and 14 May, 2023, the representatives of several organisations affiliated with geoscience and science education gathered together in Barcelona, Spain, to discuss the current state of geoscience education in Europe. This meeting was co-ordinated by the Education Committee of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), in response to the alarming decrease in the uptake of geoscience options at all levels of education in several countries.
Home / Awards & medals / Division Outstanding Young Scientist Awards / 2014 / Nick J. Dunstone
Dunstone has published several papers in the field, most of which have appeared in journals of the highest standard. His latest work raises the possibility that most of the 20th century variability in Atlantic hurricanes is due to fluctuations in anthropogenic aerosols – a result with enormous scientific implications and socio-economic importance.
Home / Education / Planet Press / Articles / Tsunamis in the Mediterranean
27 August 2015 As tectonic plates slide under one another, they grind, stick, and finally slip, releasing built-up pressure in the form of earthquakes. Tremors happen in the Mediterranean as the African plate slides underneath the Eurasian plate. Some of these tremors can generate tsunamis – very large water waves (larger than usual ocean waves) containing huge amounts of energy.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Awards / 2014 / Melanie Froude
Atleast 90% of the deposit was interpreted as upper flow regime origin, containing a number of lenticular facies, characteristic of those formed under water-surface-waves in the flume. Critically, her work has been conducted in a natural environment and contributes a modern example of architectural elements formed under upper flow regime conditions that may be referenced to assist in the interpretation of ancient sequences.
Home / Awards & medals / Arne Richter Awards for Outstanding Young Scientists / 2015 / Katrin Schroeder
Katrin Schroeder The 2015 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Young Scientists is awarded to Katrin Schroeder for her achievements in the field of experimental oceanography, to which she has contributed original ideas on the understanding of the formation and spreading of Mediterranean deep waters. Katrin Schroeder focuses her research on the causes and effects of interannual- to decadal-scale changes in the Mediterranean Sea circulation.
Home / Awards & medals / Alfred Wegener Medal & Honorary Membership / 2018 / Meinrat O. Andreae
Andreae’s ground-breaking studies and outstanding scientific achievements are reflected in a large number of highly cited publications and scientific honours. He has mentored numerous graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, many of whom are now in faculty or senior scientist positions and continue to serve and promote geoscientific research and international collaboration building on his great achievements and big picture of Earth system science.
Home / News / Press releases / Terrestrial ecosystems at risk of major shifts as temperatures increase
Ostberg and collaborators studied the critical impacts of climate change on landscapes and have now published their results in Earth System Dynamics , an open access journal of the European Geosciences Union ( EGU ). The researchers state in the article that “nearly no area of the world is free” from the risk of climate change transforming landscapes substantially, unless mitigation limits warming to around 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.
