He is supervised by Prof. Brice Rea, Dr Matteo Spagnolo, Dr David Cornwell and Prof. John Howell. In his work he is aiming to characterize distributions and reservoir properties of glaciogenic sediments in the subsurface by studying analogous landforms exposed on the landsurface, seafloor and in outcrop.
Home / News / EGU news / The EGU Climate Hazard and Risk Task Force provide evidence for the EU’s proposed ‘European climate resilience and risk management initiative’.
In issuing a call for evidence in consultation and using a science-based approach, this proposal has the potential to improve the safety of European civilians and infrastructure; strengthen the understanding and preparedness of its citizens; increase collaboration and coherency between European member-states, and different sectors; and stimulate economic growth through the implementation of co-beneficial solutions and innovation.

Throughout her research career at the University of Vienna, Austria, at the National Institute of Amazonian Research in Brazil, and Belgium’s University of Antwerp, Fuchslueger has authored several publications unravelling the role of microbes in soil biogeochemical cycles, as well as their responses to potential climate change aspects across various scales.
Home / News / EGU news / Flies grow bigger up north: insect size a promising new proxy for palaeoclimate
“This [technique] is pretty good, but it has a major drawback: the further back in time you go, the less applicable what we know about the coverage of modern animals becomes,” says Viktor Baranov , a palaeontologist at Lüdwig Maximilians-University in Munich. For example, the small dragonflies of today might not have shared a similar range with the metre-long dragonflies of the Cretaceous around 100 million years ago, he explains.

European Geophysical Society Gayus Plinius Secundus, Plinius the Old Gayus Plinius Secundus, known as Plinius the Old was born in 24 A.D., in Como, in the Italian Peninsula. Although their first works were treatises on military strategy, after the rise of Nero as Emperor of Rome, he left the army and devoted himself entirely to science. His main scientific legacy consists of 37 volumes of the work "Naturalis Historia" (Natural History).

9 April 2019 The Alps are probably the most famous mountain range in Europe. The region, which crosses eight countries in central Europe, includes some of the continent’s highest peaks. The range also has beautiful glaciers, large bodies of dense ice that cover some of the tops and slopes of the Alpine mountains.
