EGU is pleased to announce that the Union is now a signatory of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA), further reinforcing our commitment to Open Science, Open Research and Open Meetings.
Field-based teaching is a cornerstone of geoscience education. Concepts such as scale, complexity, spatial awareness, 3D geometries, methods, skills, and techniques are inherently difficult to teach from a lecture theatre. However, achieving the benefits of field-based teaching might require a learning module not always considered as a prerequisite: planning and providing information about bathroom breaks. One of my experiences at the Isle of Arran in 2001 The bus came to a halt in front of the giant, dilapidated hostel-like building, …
The time I first set foot at the university, I didn’t expect that two weeks later I would be looking at a backpack more than half my size, turning my back to the shelter of our rental car and walking almost 100 km in the Norwegian Arctic. Howling winds, heavy backpacks, daunting bridges, and endless beauty – that’s how I would describe my first experience with glacier fieldwork. I, Silje Waaler, started my PhD journey in August 2023 at the …
In the 2024 ERC Starting Grant call, the European Research Council received nearly 3,500 proposals, of which approximately 14% were awarded funding. Among the 20 projects funded in the field of Earth System Sciences is DYNAMICE, led by Ágnes Király, the 2023 recipient of the EGU GD Division Outstanding Early Career Award. Through this blog, Ágnes will introduce us to her project. The vast ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica are melting at an alarming rate, contributing to rising sea …
