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An abstract submitted to EGU24 has been withdrawn from the programme.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.
You got all your components for your project, so now it’s all about getting it all together. Then it’s great to be able to quickly exchange components and change wiring. That’s where a so-called “breadboard” comes in handy. It’s an easy to use device where you can connect microelectronic components without the need to solder anything. Breadboards are like pinboards for cables and microelectronics. They present the first step in the design cycle because parts are easily exchanged in case …
The Earth’s internal engine drives several geodynamic processes such as continental rifting and dynamic topography, shaping mesmerizing landscapes. Through numerical modeling, insights into formations like the Continental Rift of Southeastern Brazil deepen our appreciation of Earth’s dynamic nature and the forces sculpting its surface. The heat engine beneath our feet Not so long ago, human history was marked by the steam engine, a symbol of the Industrial Revolution that had a revolutionary impact on our civilization. With the steam engine …
This year for the EGU24 Photo Competition we had some amazing photos submitted! In case you missed them before the meeting, for the next few weeks we will be featuring all 10 of the shortlisted photos, and our three winners! First up, Bernardo Cesare’s image ‘The Concert’. This image is called ‘The Concert’. Agate is made of microcrystalline fibrous quartz, called chalcedony, and provides eye-catching photomicrographs because of the fine layering and radial textures it often displays. I had this …
