HIGHLIGHTS

It has been just over a month since the EGU General Assembly 2015 in Vienna. During the conference we made a video of the best bits of a very productive week, which you can see by following the 'highlights' link below. We would also like to take this opportunity remind you that you can still provide feedback on the EGU 2015 General Assembly, to help us make the meeting even better in the years to come.

In other news, particularly interesting research has been published in the EGU’s open access journals over the past month. We highlight some of it in this newsletter, through the press releases featured in the EGU News section, and the papers in Journal Watch.
