The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2024 Field Schools for Teachers and Geoscience Education Events awards. These awards, aimed at advancing education in Earth, planetary, and space sciences, offer financial support to initiatives that foster geoscience learning across different educational levels.
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is seeking two enthusiastic members to actively contribute to the promotion of EDI values within the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. If you’re motivated to drive equity, diversity, and inclusion, familiar with EGU’s mission, and ready to collaborate in a diverse team, we want to hear from you! This voluntary position has a two-year term (renewable). The deadline for applications is 10 October 2024.
Are you a researcher passionate about geoscience education and eager to make a broader impact? The EGU Education Committee is looking for four new members to join our dynamic team, helping to shape and promote innovative educational initiatives in Earth, planetary, and space sciences. If you have experience in collaboration, a strong interest in secondary or tertiary education, and a desire to support professional development for educators, we want to hear from you!
EGU would like to publicly refute the allegations published in an article in Science news online on 2 July 2024, regarding the dismissal of the Union’s former President and the purported events that occurred during the 2024 General Assembly. We will therefore provide further clarification on the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of former president Irina Artemieva and the measures undertaken to preserve the integrity and ethical standards of our organisation.
The EGU will support the organisation of 16 geoscience conferences and training schools run by EGU members in 2024.
Ever wonder what happens to the chemicals and medications we use once they go down the drain? The fourth Sunday of September each year marks the World Rivers Day, and this post is dedicated to our global rivers and what humankind can do to preserve our waters. This is because pharmaceuticals and household products, even after being flushed or washed away, don’t just disappear. Many of these substances slip through wastewater treatment systems and end up in our rivers and …
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) supports bringing science into the classroom at all learning levels, from schools to universities. Since the Higher Education Teaching grant programme launched in 2020, EGU has funded 24 projects to develop useful and freely available geoscience resources to university educators. This blog is part of a series of blogs highlighting the innovative and accessible resources developed by grant awardees to support teaching in higher education.

In this Must Read paper “3D seismic analysis of the structure and evolution of a salt-influenced normal fault zone: a test of competing fault growth models (2013)”, by Christopher A-L. Jackson and Atle Rotevatn used detailed 3D seismic reflection data from the Suez Rift, Egypt, to gain a better understanding of the structural evolution of normal faults. Specifically, the paper shows that isolated and coherent fault growth models occur simultaneously during the growth and linkage of normal fault segments across …
