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.
Members of the media, public information officers and science bloggers are now invited to register online for the meeting free of charge. EGU24 will be held from 14-19 April, 2024 both in-person (Vienna, Austria) and online.
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) provides recommendations ensure appropriate, mindful and ethical use of AI tools to prepare presentations and publications in Earth, planetary and space science.
Special thanks to the over 13,500 volunteers and members who generously donated their time to EGU in 2023!

Amidst the debris, Hauk and her colleagues noticed a large volume of specific plastic butter tubs. She noted them separately and over the following two years asked citizen scientists from the …
