Home / News / Press releases / Terri Cook and Phil McKenna awarded EGU Science Journalism Fellowship
The winning proposals receive up to €5K to cover expenses related to their projects. This support is intended to allow the fellows to follow geoscientists on location and to develop an in-depth understanding of their questions, approaches, findings and motivation. The European Geosciences Union ( EGU ) is Europe’s premier geosciences union, dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the Earth, planetary, and space sciences for the benefit of humanity, worldwide.

A case study of Nea Kameni volcano (Santorini, Greece) (National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece; University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy) This teaching material’s objective is to teach students how to gather, evaluate and process data using selfie drones, to create highly accurate 3D models of the Earth's relief to be used for data collection in Virtual Reality environment, to perform spatial analysis and interpret data in a GIS environment and finally to disseminate results in a user-friendly manner using GIS applications.

Glaciers store lots of fresh water (as opposed to salty water in the sea). For this reason, glaciers contain enough water to support one third of the world’s population (that’s a massive 2.4 billion people!), by providing them with fresh, clean meltwater from high up in the mountains.

He investigated the release of iodine from the marine biosphere and its role in new particle formation. Altogether, Hugh Coe’s body of work on understanding the chemistry and global distribution of aerosols provide the underpinning data used to develop and test our global atmospheric models, and are foundational in our assessments of air pollution and climate change.
