Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2018 / Gabriela Guimarães Nobre
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 / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster (OSP) Awards / 2011 / Johannes J. Fürst
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.
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.

Invited Panel Discussion Speakers Philippe Tulkens , Head of Unit for Climate & Planetary Boundaries Julie Berckmans , European Climate Risk Assessment Expert, European Environment Agency Hans-Ulrich Goessl , Head of Unit for Civil Protection Policy Maria Vittoria Gargiulo, Researcher, University of Salerno and ISSNOVA foundation Roundtable themes: Water resources under climate stress Preparing for flooding in urban and rural environments Building resilience to droughts and heatwaves Understanding changing forest ecosystem dynamics Establishing sustainable food systems in a changing climate Building resilience to climate risks in Arctic landscapes Within these thematic areas, table moderators guided participants through a range of key discussion points relating to effectively cascading and compounding risks, communicating uncertainty, understanding and implementing multi-risk assessment, managing societal risk, and interactions with non-climatic risk drivers.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2017 / Annette Bösmeier
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.

A clear view for the first time Exceptional sea-ice breakup in early 2019 enabled the team on the RV Nathaniel B Palmer to survey more than 2000 square kilometres of sea floor at the glacier’s ice front. The area surveyed had previously been hidden beneath part of the floating ice shelf extending from Thwaites Glacier, which broke off in 2002, and in most subsequent years the area was inaccessible due to thick sea-ice cover.

Home / News / EGU news / The EGU turns 10!
7 September 2012 Today, 7 September 2012, marks the 10th anniversary of the European Geosciences Union, Europe’s premier geosciences union. Ten years ago today, the European Geophysical Society ( EGS ) and the European Union of Geosciences ( EUG ) merged to form the EGU . Members of the Councils of EGS and EUG founded the Union on 7 September 2002 in the Hotel Platzl in Munich, Germany.
