This matter can include fine grained mineral sediment, such as clay and silt, as well as organic matter from decaying plants and microbes. A high concentration of SPM is major cause of poor water quality and can affect aquatic wildlife.

-K.; Ruch, J.; Vasyura-Bathke, H.; Jónsson, S.) Click here to download the poster/PICO file. Yuan-Kai Liu is a first year MS student in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia. Working as a member in Crustal Deformation InSAR Group, his current research focused on ground deformation analyses of several subsiding calderas e.g.

In detail, he investigates the dynamic response of the Greenland ice sheet to future climate change with special focus on processes at the ice margin that possibly trigger instant inland acceleration. On his poster presentation he examined differences in inland stress transmission on Greenland when accounting for horizontal coupling of the ice flow field.

The presented PICO evaluates the potential cost-effectiveness of cash transfer responses, comparing the relative costs of cash transfers before (ex-ante) and after (ex-post) drought events in five districts in Kenya. For that, a forecast model using Fast-and Frugal Trees was developed that unravels early warning relationships between climate variability, vegetation coverage, and maize yields at multiple lead times.
Home / ECS / Undergraduate and postgraduate courses / Integrated Climate System Sciences
You will start your studies with mandatory courses in research skills, as well as natural and social science foundation courses in climate system sciences. The main goal of the second semester is to broaden your knowledge across the climate science disciplines. You will choose courses from at least two of the three possible program tracks.
Home / News / Webinars and online events / ERE Campfire - Subsurface stress measurement and characterization
Join us around our warm and friendly virtual, seminar-style Campfire as we dive deep into the challenges of the subsurface. Our featured speaker is Kai Bröker (University of Neuchâtel), who explores how novel stress measurement techniques and in situ borehole experiments can improve stress characterization and understanding of coupled processes in fractured rocks.
Home / About EGU / EGU vision & strategy
Establish open access journals as the preferred publication mechanism for geoscience research We will review geoscience publications (and establish an ongoing annual review) to determine what percentage of papers are published in open access journals, and what key factors are influencing change in the publication landscape. We will use the results of this review to publicise open review and the transparency of the review process as key benefits and unique characteristics of EGU journals.
Home / Education / Planet Press / Articles / Studying glaciers with animated satellite images
Frank Paul, a scientist from the University of Zurich in Switzerland, has now come up with a simple method that allows us to easily see glacier movements and changes, using the Karakoram mountain range in central Asia as an example. He started by gathering satellite images of the region taken between 1990 and 2015, which are available for free on the US Geological Survey website.

Marc is now a NSF Postdoctoral fellow (National Science Foundation, USA), working at the Institute of Coastal Research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (Germany), and he is using observations to quantify air-sea momentum flux mechanisms in high wind conditions in the North and Baltic Seas.
