Home / Education / Educational resources / The ocean’s storage system: how plankton influences climate change
Professor Katsumi Matsumoto, of the University of Minnesota in the US, uses computer models to understand this process, and what it means for global climate change. This brochure introduces Katsumi's work, offers an insight into careers in biogeochemistry, contains an interview with Katsumi and includes an activity sheet that challenges students to model the global ocean carbon cycle.

EGS Badge Award 1990 Christopher R. Argent in recognition of his generous services to the Society as its first Secretary General, and his invaluable help, under the auspices of the Royal Society, in promoting its growth and development over the first ten years
Home / Awards & medals / Louis Néel Medal / 2018 / Harry W. Green II
Overall, Green made many original and high-impact contributions to a wide range of problems including ultra-high-pressure metamorphic rocks and mantle dynamics, resulting in an astonishing record of high-impact papers on novel, often controversial, but always interesting and thought-provoking topics. He changed the way the community thinks about a wide range of phenomena in rock physics.

President: Kristen Cook ( Email gm@egu.eu ) Deputy President: Matteo Spagnolo ( Email ) ECS Representative: Rachel Oien ( Email ecs-gm@egu.eu ) Geomorphology is the scientific study of land-surface features and the dynamic processes that shape them. Besides focusing on the diverse physical landscapes of the Earth, geomorphologists also study surfaces of other planets. Understanding landform history and dynamics, and predicting future changes through a combination of field observations, physical experiments, and numerical modelling is at the heart of geomorphology.

Home / News / EGU news / University geoscience teachers: apply for an EGU higher education teaching resources grant!
7 February 2023 The European Geosciences Union ( EGU ) invites applications for grants to fund the preparation of Tertiary Education (university-level) geoscience teaching materials. There will be a total of 10 awards funded in 2023. These higher education teaching grants, of up to 750€ each, can be on any geoscience topic, including laboratory or fieldwork. In 2023, preference will be given to topics and subject areas not covered in previous awards .
Home / News / Webinars and online events / EGU Science for Policy Hangout
Join us on the first Monday of every month to discuss how researchers can more effectively engage with policymaking, get the scoop on upcoming science for policy opportunities, and virtually mingle in a relaxed, informal environment. You’ll be met with people working at the science-policy interface as well as others who may be interested in doing so.

Click here to download the poster/PICO file. Roisin O’Riordan is a PhD student at Lancaster Environment Centre and the Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business, Lancaster University, UK. Roisin’s background is in landscape architecture which informs her research on the role of urban soil in providing ecosystem services, with a focus on urban soil carbon.
Home / Awards & medals / Outstanding Student Poster and PICO (OSPP) Awards / 2019 / Julius Sebald
He works at the Institute of Silviculture in the Department of Forest- and Soil Sciences. His research focuses on forest ecosystem dynamics under a changing climate. He is particular interested in interactions between forest management, natural disturbances (i.e., abrupt tree mortality events caused by agents such as fire, wind-throw and insect infestation) and human well-being.
