EFGeoBlog - EFG welcomes your contributions!

Under the category EFGeoBlog, we welcome guest posts from our National Associations, our Panels of Experts, and from external contributors who would like to present recent research or professional developments in the field of geosciences.

Today and tomorrow (11 and 12 July) the Hungarian Presidency will host an informal meeting of Environment Ministers in Budapest, where they will discuss COP29, the circular economy's potential to boost competitiveness and water scarcity.

Geothermal energy is the first item on the agenda of an informal meeting of EU energy ministers on Friday and Saturday (16-17 July) in Budapest, where they will discuss how to overcome barriers to the deployment of this under-exploited energy source.

As the dust settles around EU election results and Brussels looks towards the EU's incoming leaders, one last policy hurdle sits on the desks of energy officials: a definition of low-carbon hydrogen.

The three EU Parliament groups of the centrist majority diverge on some key policy issues for the next mandate, according to draft action plans seen by Euractiv, the basis for their talks with Ursula von der Leyen as she seeks support to win a second m...

France submitted its national energy-climate plan (NECP) to the European Commission, setting a target for the renewable share of gross final energy consumption, while the government has been fighting to have nuclear energy recognised as well.

Germany's cabinet blocked the planned sale of the gas turbine business of Volkswagen unit MAN Energy Solutions to a Chinese company on Wednesday (3 July), with ministers citing security reasons.

Last month was the hottest June on record, the EU's climate change monitoring service said on Monday (8 July), continuing a streak of exceptional temperatures that some scientists said puts 2024 on track to be the world's hottest recorded year.

Côte Bleue Marine Park and Cerbère-Banyuls Natural Marine Reserve in France, along with Sierra Nevada National and Natural Park in Spain, are the sites in the Mediterranean region that have recently renewed their IUCN Green List status. In doing so, th...

As energy costs rise and climate action becomes increasingly urgent, innovative solutions are essential. One such solution is Geothermal Heat Pumps, an advanced technology that utilises the Earth's natural heat to provide efficient and eco-friendly hea...

When runoff from farmland and urban areas enters our streams and rivers, it carries a heavy load of fertilizers and nutrients. These substances accumulate and flow into our coastal oceans, triggering a series of reactions that can create hypoxic ‘dead ...

Solar panels and wind turbines had to be shut down in Greece for a short period in May this year because the national electricity grid wasn’t able to absorb the amount of energy being produced. For electronic engineer Effie Makri, this pointed to one o...

The European Single Market is considered one of the EU’s biggest accomplishments – and for good reason. It enables EU citizens to travel, live, work, study, retire, trade and do business wherever they wish. Simply put, the European Single Market makes ...

The European Commission is working up multiple generative artificial intelligence calls in next year’s Horizon Europe work programme as part of a €500 million push to find industrial real-world uses for the technology popularised by ChatGPT.

For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have been able to fully explain the various causes of long-term polar motion in the most comprehensive modeling to date, using AI methods. Their model and their observations show that climate change and glo...

EPFL researchers have discovered that deepwater renewal in Lake Geneva in wintertime is not only due to vertical mixing. Instead, strong currents coming from the lake's Petit Lac basin and nearshore zones of the Grand Lac play a vital role.

Core processes, dynamically linked to mantle and climate-related surface processes, contribute to both the long-term trend and shorter-term fluctuations observed in Earth’s polar motion, according to predictions from physics-informed neural networks.

A group of scientists have released a landmark report on glacial geoengineering—an emerging field studying whether technology could halt the melting of glaciers and ice sheets as climate change progresses.

How Liquid Is That Lava?

A new device helps scientists measure lava viscosity during active flows.

Extremophile microbes exist in the gypsum-rich “fringes” of the driest place on Earth.

When Hunga erupted in 2022, ash “decimated” slow-moving species living on the seafloor. More mobile species were able to hoof it out of harm’s way.

Offshore well and survey information held within BGS’s archive have been transferred to the North Sea Transition Authority’s National Data Repositor.

BGS visits the active and fossilised geothermal systems of southern Tuscany, Italy.

As effluent from sewage works and agricultural pollution flow freely into rivers, researchers and local citizens are urgently seeking to clean up the UK's waterways.
