Home / Media Library / Simulation results: radiative forcing due to the formation of contrails
Radiative forcing due to the formation of contrails for present-day climate conditions and (a) present-day air traffic volume, and (b) for air traffic volume expected for the year 2050. Panels on the right hand side show the radiative forcing for climate conditions expected for 2050 and == (c) == air traffic volume for the year 2050, and (d) air traffic volume for the year 2050 assuming an increase in fuel efficiency and a 50% decrease in soot emissions.

During his PhD, they developed a new Granular Rock-Analogue Material (GRAM) to enable the simulation of multi-scale fault and fracture processes in dynamically scaled experiments. The model resolution provided by this new material allowed the investigation of tectonic processes at the outcrop scale, with 1 cm in the model corresponding to 10 m in the natural system.

Ingo Heidbüchel HS Hydrological Sciences The 2012 Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Award is awarded to Ingo Heidbüchel for the poster/PICO entitled: Tracking Variations of Catchment Storage with Stable Water Isotopes (Heidbüchel, I; Troch, P. A.) Click here to download the poster/PICO file. I obtained my masters degree in hydrology from the University of Freiburg and I’m about to finish my PhD (also in hydrology) at the University of Arizona.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Awards / 2011 / Niklaus Merz
On the EGU 2011 poster he presents his master thesis written at the ETH Zurich under the supervision of Jan Sedlacek and Reto Knutti, where he investigated the importance of the atmospheric variability, e.g., the Southern Annular Mode, on the Southern Hemisphere sea-ice. The poster discusses some interesting features found in reanalysis data of the last 30 years and compares it with the output of a comprehensive climate model (NCAR CCSM3).
Home / Awards & medals / Young Scientist Outstanding Poster Paper (YSOPP) Awards / 2010 / Matthew Toohey
His current research involves simulating large-scale volcanic eruptions within the ECHAM5 General Circulation Model. His poster presented at EGU 2010 focuses on simulations of the Los Chocoyos eruption of 84000 years ago in present-day Guatemala, and explores how stratospheric volcanic aerosol distributions, and related climatic anomalies, depend on the season of eruption.

After my masters degree in Geology with a focus on rock avalanches, I have continued my studies in the intriguing field of natural hazards and specialized on Historical Climatology and quantitative historical hydrology. I am currently part of the interdisciplinary, Franco-German project TRANSRISK2 which explores the flood history and changes of vulnerability and risk perception within the Upper and Middle Rhine area.
Home / About / Subdivisions / Water policy, management and control
Climate and land use change together with growing populations are straining freshwater availability worldwide. Successful water resources management and policy requires an integrative understanding of coupled human and natural system components, and proper characterisation of the multiple and heterogenous sources of uncertainty affecting their (co-)evolution in time. This improved knowledge can be used to build mathematical models and support decision makers in delivering scientifically sound, economically-efficient and socially acceptable policy.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / Lights, Camera, Geoscience with Four.Six - Session 3
This session considers "Technical Aspects of Video Production", and focuses on practical skills in video creation—camera work, lighting, sound, and editing. Participants film short clips and experiment with basic editing tools to build confidence in production techniques. Please note that EGU Workshops are not recorded. Need help?
Home / ECS / About early career scientists (ECS)
The EGU offers a platform for early career scientists to become involved in interdisciplinary research in the Earth, planetary and space sciences, through sessions, social events and short courses at the annual General Assembly in April. The ECS website brings together the opportunities the EGU offers for early career researchers – useful resources, job opportunities and information on how you can get involved in the Union.
Home / News / EGU news / New EGU opportunity for early career scientists to be involved with policy
The competition is open to all undergraduate or postgraduate (Masters/PhD) students and scientists who have received their highest degree (BSc, MSc, or PhD) within the past seven years. The winner of the competition will receive a ticket to a Dinner Debate in Brussels on the evening of September 26, 2018. This event will be co-hosted by the EGU and EFG (the European Federation of Geologists) and will focus on the upcoming FP9 research funding programme in the context of the geosciences, as well as other geopolicy collaboration opportunities and challenges.
