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An abstract submitted to EGU24 has been withdrawn from the programme.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.
A new study reveals European summer weather is predictable months to years in advance, due to higher levels of freshwater in the North Atlantic. The paper, published in the EGU journal Weather and Climate Dynamics, outlines a chain of events leading to hotter and drier European summers.
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 …
With almost 21,000 participants, the 2024 EGU General Assembly, held from 14-19 April, in Vienna and online, was the biggest one yet. For hydrologists, there were hundreds of sessions to enjoy, networking events to join, short courses to learn from, and colleagues to meet. Here’s a look back at the highlights! A look back at EGU24. Thanks to Tasty Edits for the fantastic video edit! 101+ Scientific Sessions As every year, the scientific programme offered a diverse range of sessions …
