Home / Awards & medals / Virtual Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (vOSPP) Awards / 2021 / Sam Hartharn-Evans
Sam’s vPICO poster describes the results of work investigating the behaviour of these Internal Solitary Waves as they propagate upslope in different stratification regimes. Publication resulting from this award Hartharn-Evans, S. G., Stastna, M., and Carr, M.: A new approach to understanding fluid mixing in process-study models of stratified fluids, Nonlin.

Position PhD studentship – Molecular simulations of biochar ageing in soils Employer University of Edinburgh Location Edinburgh, United Kingdom Sector Academic Relevant divisions Biogeosciences (BG) Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology & Volcanology (GMPV) Soil System Sciences (SSS) Type Full time Level Student / Graduate / Internship Salary covers tuition fees and an annual stipend at the UKRI rate, for 2025-26 this is £20,780 per annum Preferred education Master Application deadline Open until the position is filled Posted 3 February 2026 Job description Biochar is increasingly deployed as a negative‑emission technology and as a soil amendment, yet carbon accounting and certification often rely on bulk proxies that do not capture how biochar surface chemistry evolves during real soil ageing.

The latter require proper sampling strategies and the awarded poster presents an example of considering readily available continuous information on soil forming factors as stratifying variables for selecting soil sample locations in an undulating river catchment in southern Sardinia (Italy).
Home / Awards & medals / Arne Richter Awards for Outstanding Early Career Scientists / 2022 / Jakob Zscheischler
Jakob Zscheischler NH Natural Hazards The 2022 Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists is awarded to Jakob Zscheischler for fundamental work of an international standing, defining and developing models for the identification and risk assessment of compound and inter-related hazards, in a changing climate. The multidisciplinary research of Jakob Zscheischler spans the areas of climate science, natural hazards, hydrology, and biogeochemistry.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / Explaining science and communicating hazards for the public with science journalist Vedrana Simičević - Session 1
People process explanations differently when the idea of risk is involved, which needs to be taken into consideration while addressing the public. Participants will get tips on the best communication strategies in this type of situation and how to prevent their words from being taken out of context while discussing hazards, probabilities, forecasts, models or consequences of climate change in the media.
Home / Education / Planet Press / Overview
You can find all Planet Press texts, including print versions and translations, in the Articles section. What is it? The EGU began producing science press releases in February 2012 to help raise awareness of exciting and relevant geoscience research published in one of the EGU’s open access journals spanning the Earth, planetary and space sciences.

It shows the mechanism of dynamically generated off-fault fracture networks, the enhancement of high-frequency radiation in near-field ground motion, the evolution of damage zone size with depth, and the overall energy budget.
Home / Education / Educational resources / Demystifying copulas: An interactive lesson
Many people feel that copulas are scary, yet they really matter for tail-end risk (i.e. rare yet severe impacts); this resource introduces copulas in an interactive, exploratory manner. This course is at intermediate level, using a scenario-based approach and no equations! For those with of some experience the field of risk management, or PhD students studying compound or multi-hazard risk. It can also serve as a reminder to those experienced in modelling dependency.
Home / Education / Educational resources / How does plankton influence climate change?
This resource introduces the work of Professor Katsumi Matsumoto, an ocean biogeochemist at the University of Minnesota. He is using numerical modelling to investigate the ratio of carbon to nitrogen to phosphorus in phytoplankton in the ocean. It includes an interview with Katsumi and offers an insight into careers in ocean biogeochemistry.
