Home / News / EGU news / EGU’s Teacher-Scientist Pairing Scheme 2026 – apply now to co-create a video lesson for schools!
The pairing scheme was established in 2021 to connect scientists, teachers and their classrooms to support the teaching of scientific concepts by the lively video presence of a ‘guest’ scientist and hands-on activities that are carried out in the classroom under the guidance of the in-class teacher.
Home / Awards & medals / Hannes Alfvén Medal / 2018 / Eckart Marsch
Some of his most important scientific achievements and pioneering studies were unravelling the stream structure dependence and discovering the radial evolution of the 3D velocity distribution function of solar wind protons inferred from HELIOS observations in the inner heliosphere.
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Agassiz Medal / 2008 / Johannes Oerlemans
He has combined extensive modelling studies with fieldwork in the Alps and the polar regions, and in instrument development with rugged automatic weather stations. Understanding the relation between ice sheets and glaciers and climate has formed a central part of his research resulting in a number of seminal papers (mostly published in Nature and Science) and a second textbook, “Glaciers and Climate Change” published in 2001.
Home / News / EGU news / Apply for EGU financial support for training schools and propose conferences within two new series
1 June 2018 EGU training schools offer early career scientists specialist training opportunities they do not normally have access to in their home institutions. Up until 15 August 2018, we welcome requests for EGU support of training schools in the Earth, planetary or space sciences scheduled for 2019. In addition, we welcome proposals for conferences on solar system and planetary processes, as well as on biochemical processes in the Earth system, in line with two new EGU conference series we are launching that are named in honour of two female scientists.

What sets the size of the thermohaline circulation is the outstanding question in oceanography and climate. Dr. Naveira Garabato has led and continues to lead a series of research cruises in the Southern Ocean to infer and measure directly the mixing in this critical region.

China is entering a new era of deep space exploration, with multiple ambitious missions planned over the next 10 to 15 years. The Chang’e-6 mission has successfully returned samples from the far side of the Moon, and the Chang’e-7 mission is scheduled for launch in 2026.
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.

My project focuses on factors controlling the spatial distribution of root exudates in the rhizosphere. In particular, I am interested in the effect of root exuded mucilage and rhizosphere water dynamics on the diffusion of low molecular weight exudates across the rhizosphere. The aim is to implement a numerical model to simulate the effects of water flow, root growth, mucilage and degradation of rhizodeposits on the spatial distribution of root exudates.

It pays special emphasis on the three ocean-bearing worlds, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. Another team has found that some microorganisms on Earth may be able to survive in the harsh conditions of open space or possibly even in environments similar to the Martian surface. In the Saturn system, evidence is mounting for a liquid water ocean in the deep interior of Titan, in addition to its surface seas of liquid methane and ethane.
