Seismology as a discipline contributes to a large variety of both basic and applied scientific fields, and addresses urgent questions in the context of both natural resources and natural hazards. The Seismology (SM) Division at EGU aims to strengthen its interdisciplinarity and impact by driving the development from static to dynamic geophysical models, by conducting research that spans from acquisition parameters to petrophysical properties, and by supporting the transition from geo-modelling to geo-technical application. Thereby, the SM Division will be increasingly able to make relevant forecasts and provide valuable information to tackle future challenges in securing natural resources and quantifying natural hazards.
The EGU offers an open and widely recognized forum for discussing a wide range of scientific questions and conducting corresponding research. The impact of geosciences to society has probably never been as high as today. Therefore, we pursue broad and open-minded approaches to tackle important research topics, while simultaneously engaging in interdisciplinary collaborations for the benefit of humanity and our planet.

Surviving the Ranking Madness: A Geoscientist’s Guide to Keeping Your Academic Soul Intact
The Academic Identity Crisis Ever googled yourself to check if your h-index went up? Compared your publication statistics to a peer? Published in a paywall journal while cursing the system? – Same. Welcome to the slightly neurotic world of academic evaluation—where current incentives often pull us away from the values we hold as scientists: curiosity, creativity, responsibility, and even actual scientific purpose. Overall, academia rewards intermediate-impact paper productivity—not mentorship, outreach, or open science. It is a misalignment that fuels burnout, …

Current issue of the EGU newsletter
In our December Issue we we are focusing on positive stories of surprises in science. Asmae Ourkiya shared how a prize established in 1900 to reward anyone making contact with alien life (expect Martians) ended up funding more than a century of astronomy research and innovation. Guest blogger Fernanda Matos described the discovery her autism had been driving her interest in Oceanography for years, in her blog on how we can better support people with disability in geoscience. And we highlight some surprises to avoid in our blog on the Austrian visa and Schengen system ahead of EGU26. Also catch up on all the upcoming dates for webinars and funding, including €10,000 to host a Geoscience Day event in your European country, and share your opinions on where EGU should be focusing strategically in the next 5 years in the EGU Members' Survey.
All this and much more, in this month's Loupe!
