Do you run online science communication workshops? The EGU Outreach Committee is soliciting the development and delivery of online workshops to provide training for our members in various aspects of science communication, so submit your proposal by Monday 13 January 2025.
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is opening applications for its Field Schools for Teachers and its Geoscience Education Events schemes, which provide support and financial assistance for events promoting education in the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. Apply by 31 December 2024.
EGU are pleased to announce a new clarification of the way the Union and our publishing partner Copernicus handle the Article Processing Charges in our 19 open access journals. These changes, which will take place from January 2025, also include an expansion of the discounts and waivers available to authors.
As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on a year filled with groundbreaking discoveries and inspiring collaborations in mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology, and volcanology. This year, our understanding of Earth’s intricate systems has deepened significantly. We widen our scopes approaching mineralogical and petrological problems with new methods such as machine learning and deep learning technologies (Wang et al., 2024; Petrelli 2024). Geochemists have advanced trace element detection methods, and dating early plate settings have become more accurate (Mixon et al., …
Engineers & Scientists Acting Locally (ESAL) is transforming the way STEM professionals engage with their communities. Despite the challenges faced by scientists like time constraints and uncertainty about how to get involved, ESAL tackles this with storytelling, educational resources, and actionable tools like their Local Engagement Checklist. This blog aims to inspire our community in Europe to adopt similar approaches and recognises the untapped potential of STEM expertise in driving local change. When I learned about ESAL, I was impressed …
Are you ready to dive into the fascinating mutual symbiosis of science, culture, and education? Be ready to be inspired by the blog editor-in-chief of our division blog, Rebekka Steffen, who is a researcher at Lantmäteriet in Sweden, where she specializes on glacial isostatic adjustment—think rising land, ancient ice sheets, and Earth’s stress fields! But there’s more to Rebekka than cutting-edge research: she was involved with ‘Native Scientists’, an initiative that connects kids with scientists who share their language and …
