More information The European Geosciences Union ( EGU ) is Europe’s premier geosciences union, dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the Earth, planetary, and space sciences for the benefit of humanity, worldwide. It is a non-profit interdisciplinary learned association of scientists founded in 2002 with headquarters in Munich, Germany.

The aim of her research was to quantify the role of extratropical cyclones (ETCs) in flooding in the Canadian province of Quebec between 1991 and 2020, using governmental financial aid data, cyclone tracks, and precipitation data.

Moving from the land to the sea, we will hear about the latest global simulations of dispersion and accumulation of plastic in the oceans, including results of a 3D model of plastic distribution in the ocean waters. We will also hear about how marine plastic debris can be used to improve our understanding of ocean currents.

His association with the Institute of Hydraulic Research – IPH in Brazil was the starting point for the establishment of one of the main projects developed in the Amazon Basin: the Anglo-Brazilian Climate Observation Study (ABRACOS). This did groundbreaking research on the consequences for local climate of replacing Amazon rainforest by cattle pasture.

His work stretches from developing a time dependent model of the driving of ionospheric convection, to particle dynamics in the tail and at the dayside magnetopause, to solar wind-comet interactions and to planetary magnetospheric science. In all these areas his work has proven to be seminal in our understanding of the physical processes involved.

In a new study, published in The Cryosphere and funded by NASA , researchers at the University of Washington have found that sea ice is now melting earlier in the spring and freezing later in the autumn across all regions of the Arctic where polar bears live.
