In a new study published in the European Geosciences Union journal Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, researchers find that flood risks can still be considerably reduced if all global promises to cut carbon emissions are kept.
In a new study published today in the European Geosciences Union journal Biogeosciences, two researchers address the soil organic carbon erosion paradox. The study was the result of a collaboration between UCLouvain, Belgium and ETH, Zurich.
Members of the media, public information officers and science bloggers are now invited to register online for the meeting free of charge. EGU23 will be held from 23-28 April, 2023 both in-person (Vienna, Austria) and online.
The EGU invites applications for grants to fund the preparation of university-level geoscience teaching materials. The deadline is 1 May 2023.
Heike Jane Zimmerman, a scupltor and illustrator with an interest in ecological science and micro-organisms, and Maria Gabriela Tejada Toapanta, an illustrator and print artist, have been selected for a residency at the next European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 23–28 May 2023.
The direction and magnitude of the net erosion-induced land–atmosphere C exchange have been the topic of a big scientific debate for more than a decade now. Many have assumed that erosion leads to a loss of soil carbon to the atmosphere, whereas others have shown that erosion ultimately leads to a carbon sink. Here, we show that the soil carbon erosion source–sink paradox is reconciled when the broad range of temporal and spatial scales at which the underlying processes operate are considered.
Past and future climate change at regional scales is a result of both human influences and natural (internal) variability. Here, we provide an overview of recent advances in climate modeling and physical understanding that has led to new insights into their respective roles, illustrated with original results for the European climate. Our findings highlight the confounding role of internal variability in attribution, climate model evaluation, and accuracy of future projections.
We show, for the first time, that pure cultures of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa can synthesize the potent greenhouse gas N2O using nitrite as substrate. Our findings have broad environmental implications because M. aeruginosa is globally found in freshwater ecosystems and is often the dominant species found in algae blooms. Further research is now needed to determine the occurrence and significance of N2O emissions from ecosystems rich with M. aeruginosa.
Now that you have had a quick look at our programme for EGU23, maybe found your abstract or session, you probably have a few questions! This year’s scientific programme of the General Assemby includes Union-wide Sessions, such as the medal lectures, great debates, short courses, education and outreach sessions, as well as townhall and splinter meetings, just to name a few. The Disciplinary Sessions and Inter- and Transdisciplinary Sessions (ITS) encompass the oral, poster and PICO sessions covering the full …
Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights roundup. For March as we approach the General Assembly we are not highlighting any specific Division, so this month our GeoRoundup Journals will be alphabetical! All highlights for March! Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: Natural marine cloud brightening in the Southern Ocean – 13 March 2023 Atmospheric Measurement Techniques: Atmospheric boundary layer …
Attendees at the EGU23 General Assembly can organise their own events using the the Pop-up Networking Scheduler! Registered participants can use the online tool to organise networking events both inside, outside, and beyond the conference centre – including virtually. All events organised using the Pop-up Networking Scheduler will appear on the conference programme. The scheduler is designed for anyone who wants to run their own event, of any kind, from small to big, during the conference week. Events could be …
