The magnetosphere is a barrier between the Earth and harmful particles from the Sun. The material that comes from the Sun towards Earth is in plasma form – it’s not solid, gas or liquid but instead the fourth state of matter, plasma. Plasma is similar to a gas but it can conduct electricity. In fact, fire can be a plasma, and fluorescent and neon lights contain plasma! In the magnetosphere the coldest plasma is found in a doughnut-shaped area around the Earth.

While participation numbers are not yet final, you are now 18,000 participants from 136 countries – a new record for the General Assembly! I am also proud of the 5000 waived registrations for this meeting, for scientists from lower- and middle-income countries as well as for undergraduate and MSc students, demonstrating the inclusiveness of an online meeting. Finally, there is a sense of anticipation. We hope to organise EGU22 with a significant in-person component in Vienna.

Home / News / EGU news / Strike it rich with your vPICO (and other) vEGU21 presentations!
14 April 2021 After thinking long and hard about your project, you’re finally ready to present your latest ideas to other scientists at the EGU General Assembly! Unlike most in-person geoscience conferences, where you’re limited to a poster or a talk, vEGU21 offers many ways to share your science. The options combine the flexibility and in-depth interactions of virtual conferences with the spontaneity and connection of in-person meetings.

Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Awards / 2022 / Lieke van der Most
Lieke van der Most is a PhD candidate at the Energy and Sustainability Research Institute Groningen of the University of Groningen in collaboration with The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. The overall goal of her research is to gain insight into the robustness of the changing European electricity system (current and highly renewable system) under present and future climatic/weather conditions.

Domenico Giardini and Prof. Xiaodong Ma within the Seismology and Geodynamics (SEG) group. He started his doctoral studies in 2019, after his completion of the IDEA League Joint Master’s programme in Applied Geophysics at ETH Zürich, TU Delft, and RWTH Aachen University. Kai’s research focuses on geomechanical aspects of Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS), including stress field measurements, fracture characterization, and hydraulic stimulation experiments.

EGU22 will be starting in only a few weeks, and if you have submitted an abstract you will probably be in the process of putting together all your data to create your presentation. But what do you need to know in order to be a really good presenter?
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Awards / 2012 / Crystele Leauthaud
Crystele Leauthaud is currently finishing a PhD at the University of Montpellier 2 within the French Research Institute for Development in France and Kenya. Her research focuses on assessing the impacts of changing hydrological regimes on floodplain grasslands and subsequently on the societal benefits pastoralists obtain from them.The research presented at the EGU General Assembly 2012 focused on characterizing the hydrological processes of ecological importance in a data-scarce environment through a water system balance and the use of remote sensing techniques.

Maxim Ballmer and Prof. Paul Tackley. Her PhD research focusses on the composition and structure of Earth’s lower mantle, and in particular how compositional heterogeneities affect the evolution of mantle convection. To study this, she aims at putting recent seismic, geochemical and mineral physics discoveries into a coherent geodynamical framework with the use of numerical models.
