The EGU will support the organisation of 16 geoscience conferences and training schools run by EGU members in 2024. Apply for funding to help organise a training school or a conference in the Earth, planetary or space sciences that will be held in 2025, by 17 June 2024.
Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of our members and volunteers, EGU24 broke all our previous record with an astounding 20,931 people participating in the General Assembly, both in Vienna and online!
This Earth Day EGU joins with geoscience organisations around the world to share our commitment to promoting the conscientious applications of science to help us find solutions to create a just and sustainable future for humanity and the planet.
An abstract submitted to EGU24 has been withdrawn from the programme.
The European Geosciences Union’s annual General Assembly will be held from 14-19 April 2024 in a hybrid format. Journalists, science bloggers and other media participants can now access the online press centre for press conferences and sessions of media interest.
All models are wrong, but some are useful – we all have heard this quote. But it raises several questions (including but not limited to) – What would a model of the entire world look like? Can you couple geodynamical models with climate and biological evolution models? Would these models be useful? In this week’s blog post, Timothy Gray, a PhD student from ETH Zürich is looking for answers to these questions, and sharing his experiences about doing a PhD …
In this blog post I am expanding on the blog post about the third EGU Climate Great Debate and its survey results on what you thought we can do as scientists. After conducting an interview with Maien Sachisthal, an active member of Scientist Rebellion, I reflected on the Great Debate and scientists within society, sharing insights on the Scientist Rebellion and Scientists 4 Future protest events that took place during the General Assembly in 2024. Make sure to check out …
Large subduction earthquakes cause perturbation of the subduction system, whose response depends on its rheological characteristics. The evolution of the subduction system from earthquake to earthquake is defined as subduction earthquake cycle (SEC), and is characterised by three main processes that operate over decades/centuries: postseismic afterslip, viscoelastic mantle relaxation, and fault relocking. Despite the precise and global coverage of modern geodetic systems, the full SEC of a single subduction zone is still hindered by the short instrumental time compared to …
