The Division on Solar-Terrestrial Sciences (ST) considers all aspects of solar and heliospheric physics, specifically the solar-terrestrial connection. It covers the physical processes occurring on the Sun, in the solar wind, as well as in Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Solar activity (e.g. coronal mass ejections, solar flares, solar energetic particle events) and the response of the near-Earth space environment to these solar phenomena are studied on a wide-range of temporal and spatial scales. Data analysis and interpretation of space-borne and ground-based data, as well as theoretical studies and different modelling techniques are used to better our understanding of how our local star defines the neighbourhood that we live in.

My First EGU Experience: EGU26
The journey to my first EGU General Assembly (GA) 2026 (EGU26) was memorable even before the conference began. What should have been a straightforward train ride to Vienna turned into an unexpected adventure when we were asked to get off at a small station and wait several hours for alternative transport. Surrounded by travellers, luggage, and a fair amount of confusion, it felt as though the EGU26 adventure had already begun before we had even reached Vienna. Fortunately, we eventually …

Meet Samuel Badman, the 2026 Outstanding Early Career Scientist Awardee of the Solar-Terrestrial Division!
Congratulations on receiving the EGU 2026 ST Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award for your outstanding contributions to our understanding of solar wind physics through observations from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter. What does this recognition mean to you personally, and how does it impact your work in this fascinating field? It is an incredible recognition which I am extremely grateful for, both to my nominators and the EGU-ST selection committee, and to all of my incredible colleagues, …
