Social media data are increasingly being analysed to support disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. A new comprehensive NHESS review examines how such data are being used in disaster management research.
Núria Altimir, a data visualization and data portrait artist, and Fabian Wadsworth, a mixed media visual artist and poet, have been selected for a residency at the next European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 3 – 8 May 2026.
The EGU has this week launched a new publication, Earth Observation, an open-access, two-stage journal with open and public peer review, following the model of other EGU journals, published by Copernicus Publications.
Members of the media, public information officers, and science bloggers are now invited to register for the meeting free of charge. EGU26 will be held from 3 - 8 May, 2026 both onsite in Vienna, Austria, and virtually.
The full results of the Union’s autumn 2025 election are now available.
An illustration by Prachi Kar Mantle convection may unfold the hidden stories of planetary interiors over billions of years, but geodynamic models can crash in milliseconds. While figures in papers often show smooth convective flows with elegant plumes and slabs, the path to those results is not very easy. This week, Prachi Kar, a PhD candidate at Arizona State University, shares her honest thoughts on the part of geodynamics no one advertises: the art and emotional labor of debugging. “Okay. …
Welcome, Marie! Could you please introduce yourself to our readers? Hi, my name is Marie Cavitte. I’m a glaciologist and climatologist with a passion for the polar regions. I spent 10 years studying Antarctica. I started off during my Masters, then PhD, looking at the oldest ice on Earth, hunting for THE region of the ice sheet that might contain million-year-old ice. An ice core has been drilled since and all initial results indicate that we hit the target spot-on …
We chatted with Bram Cuyx, an underwater acoustics AI research engineer at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Belgium, about his unique path from engineering into marine science. In this interview, he shares how he made the leap from signal processing in electronics to listening to the soundscape of the North Sea, what it’s like to build a sound library for AI, and why acoustics might be the key to better understanding and protecting marine ecosystems. Discover the challenges, surprises, …
