Can seabed mapping help restore our blue planet?

Some humans are racing to map the moon, Mars, and the stars, yet the very ground beneath our oceans remains largely unknown. What does it say about us, that we can chart the craters of distant planets before we bother to understand the seafloor that feeds us, cools us, and regulates our climate? In an age of climate breakdown, ecological collapse, and blue economy buzzwords, the seabed has become a paradox: out of sight, but increasingly in demand. Governments and …


EGU GMPV ECS Campfires – Thursday 26th June @ 4 pm CEST

We’re excited to invite you to the fifth edition of the Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology and Volcanology Campfires of the 2024/2025 season! Join us on Thursday June 26th at 4 pm CEST on Zoom for a Scientific Campfire, during which three Early Career Scientists will present their research to the community. Our speakers for this edition are: Karoline Bruckel, PostDoc @ Laboratoire Magmas et Volcans, France on: “Coupling diffusion timescales in olivine with real-time monitoring data to decipher the magmatic processes …


EGU NP Paper of the Month “Finite-size local dimension as a tool for extracting geometrical properties of attractors of dynamical systems”

The original goal of this study was to understand how the local dimension of the attractor of a dynamical system could be used to estimate the predictability of the future state of the system, and apply this in the case of radar images of rain. The local dimension using Extreme Value Theory (EVT) has been introduced and used in Faranda et al. (2017) to infer the current predictability of different dynamical systems from data. As other definitions of the dimension …
