EGU 2024

The EGU General Assembly 2024 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

Some of our partners (CMCC, UNIGE and UNISA, NGI, HEREON, UPV, GFZ, UNISS, IIASA) will participate to several sessions and presentations to discuss topics of core importance within The HuT:

• “Development of an integrated suite for estimating Intensity Duration Frequency curves in a climate change perspective” (Session on Monday 15 April, 16:29)
• “Heatwave analysis over the city of Valencia (Spain) for past and future climate change models and scenarios” (Session on Tuesday 16 April, 09:15)
• “The Role of Fire in the Earth System: Understanding Interactions with the Land, Atmosphere, and Society” (Poster on site Tuesday 16 April, 10:45 X1 | X1.16 BG1.1).
• “A fully operational IoT-based slope stability analysis for an unsaturated slope in Norway” (Presentation on Tuesday 16 April, 09.30)
• “Art-science cross-fertilisation. The Human-Tech Nexus: good practice of project-based collaboration” (Presentation on Wednesday, 17 April, 09:15)
• “From Shelters to Skyscrapers: A Worldwide Exploration of Buildings and Building Types Using Volunteered Geographic Information and Earth Observation Datasets”  (Presentation on Wednesday 17 April, 08:37)
• “Towards innovative landslide monitoring, modelling, and Early Warning Systems” (Session on Thursday 18 April, 08:30)
• “Tools and challenges in assessing compounding and multi-hazard risk in the evolving technological landscape” (Session on Friday 19 April, 10:45)
• “Spatial and temporal patterns of wildfires: models, theory and reality” (Session on Tuesday 25 April, 08:30)

Additionally, UNISA and CMCC will also hold a short course entitled “SC4.10: Transdisciplinary research: how to learn from each other while fostering specific expertise“. Some of the questions that will be answered in the shirt course are:

• How to learn and get the key info when listening to the report of a colleague who works on something completely different from you but on the same project?
• How to deliver your report so that everyone understands you?
• How to find common ground for joint research which will impact both the project and your career?

This short course is created by and dedicated to Early Career Scientists. The main aim is to deliver simple but effective tools to use when working on a trans-disciplinary, cross-cultural project.
