Final approval of a proposal is communicated to the organising committee by the EGU executive director by end of June. Galileo Conferences are expected to take place within the 12 months after March 1 of the following year.
Home / Education / Educational resources / Exploring Geoscience Across the Globe
It is a valuable source of information for students and their teachers and also for writers of science and geography textbooks. ‘Exploring Geoscience Across the Globe’, has been designed as the basis of a new suite of regional textbooks around the world.
Home / Media Library / The Lake, Petworth: Sunset, Fighting Bucks, by J. M. W. Turner
The Lake, Petworth: Sunset, Fighting Bucks (c. 1829) was one of the paintings by J. M. W. Turner analysed by Zerefos et al. to study the past atmosphere. (This work, obtained from "WikiPaintings":http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/william-turner/the-lake-petworth-sunset-fighting-bucks, is in the *public domain*.)
Home / Media Library / A car tested under a rain simulator
An individual in the car adjusts the wiper speed manually depending on the windscreen visibility. The visibility is related to the intensity of the rain. This is set by the rain simulator, a machine that uses a sprinkler irrigation system with adjustable nozzles to simulate light to heavy rain.

No Description From Imaggeo.egu.eu: http://imaggeo.egu.eu/view/1166/. Columnar jointing forms from volcanic rocks that cool in such a way that cracks form at the edges of the hot rock/lava. As the rock cools the cracks deepen into the lava, and tend to form columns that have between 3 and 12 sides. The cracks form like this due to stress differentiation within the lava when cooling.

Home / News / Webinars and online events / From facts to impact with Four.Six - Session 2
Through real-world examples, interactive exercises, and expert-led sessions, participants will learn to move beyond the “deficit model” and become facilitators of dialogue and action. In this session, "How to Make and Sell Geoscience", participants will learn to craft compelling geoscience content for media and digital platforms using narrative and marketing tools. Need help? If you have any questions about the workshop "From facts to impact with Four.Six - Session 2", please contact us via webinars@egu.eu .
Home / Education / Educational resources / The slow and silent earthquakes that are shaking up seismology
Share with your students how scientists are researching 'silent earthquakes' and how they might affect us all. Included is a summary of a current research project and an interview with Dr Rebecca Bell. The activity sheet includes discussion points – seven questions students can answer in groups or individually –, and instructions for mimicking a lab experiment with everyday materials. Go back
Home / Education / Educational resources / Taking to the seas to discover how the Earth’s surface moves
Show your students how researchers are trying to understanding more about them and how their findings could improve earthquake forecasting. Included is a summary of a current research project and an interview with Dr Ake Fagereng. The activity sheet includes discussion points (questions that students can answer in groups or individually) and links to find out more about similar research expeditions. Go back
